BMW Financial Services appoints Natasha Foley as Head of Corporate Governance

Reporting to Ursula Wingfield, Chief Executive Officer of BMW Group UK, Foley will oversee corporate governance across BMW Financial Services, including ALPHERA Financial Services, and Alphabet.

Her responsibilities will include policy management, senior management function governance and internal service-level agreements, alongside supporting the effective operation of key management committees.

Working closely with senior leaders and policy owners, Foley will focus on strengthening governance frameworks and ensuring the businesses remain responsive to evolving regulatory requirements and commercial developments.

Foley’s previous responsibilities as ESG Officer for the UK and Ireland will also fall within her new remit, bringing environmental, social and governance priorities into closer alignment with the wider corporate governance framework.

Commenting on her appointment, Foley said: “I’m delighted to accept the Head of Corporate Governance role. I look forward to collaborating with colleagues across the Group to foster a culture of strong governance, support sustainable growth and help deliver positive outcomes, while continuing to have oversight of a number of ESG initiatives and carbon reporting.

“I’m excited to see what we can deliver, together.”

Wingfield welcomed the appointment, highlighting Foley’s contribution to governance and regulatory compliance across the organisation.

“Natasha has already made a significant impact, working closely with me and the wider management committee to ensure our policies, decisions and behaviours align with regulatory requirements and best practice, reinforcing our commitment to a responsible business,” she said.

“True leadership is a lot more than just market share. It’s about the positive impact we have on our customers, our communities and the environment.”
