Beth Kennedy

Beth originally worked in London for the global advertising agency J Walter Thompson, until she moved to Sydney initially working for the Australian government. Subsequently she joined The London Stock Exchange Group in Sydney where, among other responsibilities, she was assigned sole responsibility for social and corporate responsibility.

During this time, she was responsible for organising and running various charitable events that successfully engaged the LSEG with the local community and raised significant amounts of money for a variety of charities including the Humpty Dumpty Foundation that provides vital medical equipment to paediatric departments in public hospitals, the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation, which changes the lives of ambitious children who would not otherwise have the chance of an education and Cancer Council Australia, a non-government organisation that advises the government and other bodies on practices and policies to help prevent, detect and treat cancer.

Beth is responsible for Prospect Capital’s social and corporate responsibility programme and will advise the board on opportunities for the business to participate in a variety of charitable projects, which is something the Directors are very committed to.
