Hoggett was appointed Chief Executive Officer of London Stock Exchange plc (LSE) in April 2021.[6] There she has argued for higher executive pay, as part of measures to attract and retain companies in the UK financial markets.[10] She has also spoken out on how the standing of UK financial markets has been negatively impacted by increases in "corporate governance processes".[11] She has been a spokesperson for diversity and inclusion for over twenty years,[12][13] after coming out as gay in a professional setting early in her career at JP Morgan.[5][6] She has also spoken on how being openly gay at work led to easier relationships with some male colleagues, which could be "business-like from the start".[14]
