Foley takes the helm of Corporate Governance

29 October 2026, Farnborough, UK: Natasha Foley has been appointed to the position of Head of Corporate Governance for BMW Financial Services and Alphabet in the UK and Ireland.

Reporting to BMW Group UK Chief Executive Officer, Ursula Wingfield, Foley will now lead corporate governance across the UK and Ireland region, overseeing policy management, senior management function governance, and internal service-level agreements.

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

In response to Foley’s appointment, Wingfield said: “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.

“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,” she added.
