Invela is delighted to share that Louise Beaumont, Head of Marketing & Communications, has been appointed to the UK Government’s Smart Data Council – a leadership group shaping how data can deliver real‑world benefits for people, businesses and the wider economy.

Smart Data is entering a pivotal new phase. As the UK moves beyond open banking toward open finance and ultimately open data, the opportunity is clear: to build the next generation of data ecosystems that work across sectors. The level of trust and confidence in these ecosystems will determine how effectively the UK unlocks value. Done well, this shift will unlock innovation, strengthen competition, and create meaningful consumer, business, societal and economic outcomes.

Louise brings deep experience in open finance risk management, market development, and ecosystem design. Her focus on turning strategic ambition into practical, scalable impact will help ensure the UK continues to lead globally in responsible data‑driven innovation.

Louise joins an exceptional group of leaders committed to shaping a future where Smart Data delivers tangible value for everyone.
