Beth A. Brooke
Overview
Beth A. Brooke is a globally recognised board director and advocate whose career spans four decades at the intersection of business, public policy and inclusion. She currently serves on the boards of The New York Times Company, eHealth, ULSE, Project Level, US Olympic & Paralympic Committee, and SHEEX, and holds leadership roles with the Conference Board, APCO’s International Advisory Council and the Indiana University O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. She is widely respected for her ability to bring together commercial insight, policy understanding and a deep commitment to values-driven leadership.
Beth is known for her work with senior leaders and boards on strategy, governance and stakeholder engagement, with a distinctive lens on diversity, inclusion and culture as drivers of performance. She founded the Women Athletes Business Network to help elite female athletes translate their high-performance experience in sport into leadership and career success in business, reflecting her passion for unlocking potential at key transition points in a leader’s journey.
Previously, Beth spent nearly 40 years at EY, where she was Global Vice Chair of Public Policy, a member of the EY Global Board and the firm’s global sponsor for Diversity and Inclusion. In this capacity she worked with governments, regulators, investors and clients around the world on issues ranging from corporate reporting and regulation to sustainability and social impact, while championing a more inclusive culture across the firm and the profession. Earlier in her career, she served in the Clinton Administration, contributing to healthcare and Superfund reform and holding tax policy responsibility for insurance and managed care.
Her combination of top-tier board experience, policy and regulatory depth, and lived commitment to inclusion enables her to support senior executives as they navigate complex stakeholder expectations and build organisations that perform and endure.
Beth brings deep cross-sector expertise in:
• Board governance, public policy & regulation – serving on major corporate and non-profit boards and shaping public policy at the intersection of business and government.
• Global professional services, tax & assurance – nearly four decades of senior leadership at EY, advising on complex regulatory and market issues worldwide.
• Diversity, equity, inclusion – globally recognised advocacy and practical experience embedding inclusion into strategy, culture and governance.
