Claire Jenkins
Claire Jenkins is the Co-Chair of Amicus, a UK-based charity that helps provide legal representation to people on Death Row in the United States. She is also a Non-Executive Director of Sports Direct International plc, the UK’s leading sports retailer.
Claire’s career started in the City of London with the investment management company, Laing & Cruikshank, where initially she was one of only two female institutional stockbrokers. After seven years she felt confined by dealing solely in figures and moved into investor relations where she advised clients on their communications with the stock market, and then moved in-house in industry. Her last corporate role was as Group Director, Corporate Affairs at Rexam plc, a multi-national packaging company with an annual turnover of c. £4 billion and with 8,000 employees.
