The Damhurst Podcast: Ascendance to Leadership, with Sheila Cameron

Sheila Cameron is CEO of the Lloyd’s Market Association, where she represents the interests of the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance businesses. Since joining the LMA in 2019, she has helped guide the market through a period of significant transformation and change. Before that, Sheila held senior leadership roles at The Navigators Group, Hiscox, and Xchanging, building extensive experience across operations, strategy and organisational transformation.

In this episode, Sheila shares why sponsorship is about creating opportunities, not just offering advice, and explains how curiosity has shaped her career. She reflects on the importance of owning mistakes as a leader, building authentic relationships over time, and why the best leaders create environments where people can thrive by bringing their whole selves to work.
