Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS, ETR:GOS) has appointed former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as a senior adviser, bringing a seasoned policymaker onto its team amid growing geopolitical and regulatory challenges.
This marks a return for Sunak to Goldman, where he began his career as an intern and analyst in the early 2000s.
In his new role, he will offer clients worldwide insights on macroeconomic and geopolitical issues.
This move follows a familiar pattern of ex-government officials joining finance firms, leveraging their policy expertise and networks.
Other former UK Chancellors, such as George Osborne and Sajid Javid, have made similar transitions.
Sunak served as Prime Minister from October 2022 to July 2024 and Chancellor from 2020 to 2022.
He stepped down last year following a landslide electoral defeat but remains an MP.
