Former British prime minister Rishi Sunak will return to Goldman Sachs in an advisory role, the Wall Street bank said on Tuesday, taking a new post a year after he led the Conservatives to a crushing electoral defeat.
Rishi Sunak, who remains a Conservative member of parliament from a seat in northern England, previously worked at Goldman Sachs as an analyst in the early 2000s, before joining a series of hedge funds.
Through a combination of his past career in financial services and the family wealth of his wife, whose father co-founded the Indian IT services company Infosys (INFY.NS), Sunak became the wealthiest British prime minister, drawing criticism of being out of touch with ordinary people.
