BritishAmerican Business has run a series of events concerned with Brexit. For example, in February 2017 it organised an 'Exclusive Roundtable' with KPMG designed to help business leaders 'through these uncertain times' and 'cut through the noise on Brexit' to focus on what truly matters to business decision making'. Speakers at the event were Antonia Romeo, then British Consul General in New York and Director-General Economic and Commercial Affairs USA, now Permanent Secretary at the UK's Department for International Trade, Doug Peterson, CEO & President, S&P Global and Casey Santos, CIO, General Atlantic.Brexit roundtable, BAB website, accessed Jan 2018
