Former British PM Rishi Sunak rejoins Goldman Sachs as adviser

Goldman Sachs has named former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as a senior adviser, the bank announced Tuesday. Sunak, who began his career as a Goldman analyst in the early 2000s, later worked at hedge funds before entering politics. He served as Britain’s finance minister and then prime minister, becoming the country's wealthiest leader due in part to his wife’s family fortune. Since resigning as Conservative leader after the party’s historic electoral defeat last year, Sunak has kept a low profile, taking up academic roles at Oxford and Stanford. His appointment reflects a broader trend of global banks recruiting ex‑politicians for their policy experience and international connections.
