David Bell is Director of Standards Policy at the British Standards Institution (BSI).  He heads a team of 24 which is responsible for BSI's input to the international and European standards bodies, ISO, IEC, CEN and CENELEC on technical and policy issues.  In addition, David manages BSI's institutional relations with national and regional standards organizations, as well as relations with British industry, UK government and with key stakeholders, including consumer and public interest groups. 

An economist by training, with a diploma in management, David has been at BSI for over 20 years, overseeing a number of European and International standards issues and took over BSI's policy team in 2009.  David was appointed Director of Standards Policy in 2015.

Bex’s extensive career in business travel spans 20 years and covers a diverse range of roles within sales and operations. She joined leading London-headquartered independent travel management company, Blue Cube Travel in 2013 as Director of Sales, rising to Commercial Director two years later with responsibility for the management and strategic direction of the TMC’s supplier relations, account management and Meetings & Events business. In 2019 she was promoted to Managing Director and her role expanded to focus on the strategic direction and future proofing of Blue Cube’s business.

Bex is passionate about the service value that Blue Cube delivers to its SME and FTSE 100 clients. Having already spearheaded Blue Cube’s integration and delivery of New Distribution Capability (NDC) content by representing the TMC at high-level IATA workshops in Geneva, she went on to be recognised as an industry influencer appearing in ‘Hotlist for 2021’ published by BTN Europe – the leading trade publication for the European corporate travel industry. Credited as an ‘innovative disruptor’, this is evidenced by her pioneering a new commercial model featuring a client subscription fee for the TMC’s full range of services, instead of offering an endless list of transaction service fees. Equally, for the last 3-years Bex has campaigned energetically for change across the travel industry supply chain and more directly with clients - and specifically to reassess travel risk management. Indeed, Bex is on a mission; driving a reset of client expectations, and behaviours, to help restore confidence in corporate travel in the post-pandemic era.

Herlé-Xavier Carn is Vice-President Security for International SOS, which he joined in 2006.

After 15 years of experience as a senior executive in the Ministry of Defense, in France and abroad, he specialized in security and crisis management.

He advises members of International SOS on the implementation of international risk management strategies.

Gian-Rico Luzzi is the Senior Manager responsible for EMEA Physical Security at VMware. Outside of work he actively volunteers and is a member of Working Group 7 (ISO 31030) at the International Organisation for Standardisation (expert and UK representative), member of the risk/travel risk management committees at the British Standards Institute, member of the Europe Risk Committee at the Global Business Travel Association, member of the Security Institute. Rico came to the fore in the travel risk management space after publishing his masters dissertation, Flying by the Seat of their Pants, which examined the maturity of contemporary travel risk management, identified the immediate market need for standardisation which he then subsequently used to initiate standardisation through the BSI in the UK.
