Sarah de Lagarde is the City’s first bionic woman. The global corporate affairs boss at Janus Henderson received the world’s first AI‑powered robotic arm last September to replace her right arm, which she lost in an accident on the Tube.
De Lagarde, who has worked in the Square Mile for close to two decades at companies including BNY Mellon and Schroders, suffered her injuries on 30 September 2022, when she slipped and fell onto the tracks at High Barnet station and was run over by two Tube trains.
