Bio: Susan le Jeune d’Allegeershecque has been Britain’s High Commissioner to Canada since August 2017.
Her 30 year diplomatic career has taken her to three continents, and exposed her to issues from the EU, to nuclear non-proliferation, anti-narcotics work and the corporate challenge of the Foreign Service’s HR policies. She has lived through a coup in Venezuela, and the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote in her last post as Ambassador to Austria and Permanent Representative to the UN organisations in Vienna. A career highlight was taking part in the negotiations which led to the JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran.
Susan speaks French, German and Spanish and is married to Stéphane a former journalist and teacher. They have two grown-up sons.
