Lord Cameron
Chair
David Cameron is a transformative figure in global politics – a visionary leader who has shaped international affairs, confronted the forces of populism, and promoted compassionate conservatism during times of unprecedented change.
As Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016, Lord Cameron led Britain’s first coalition government since World War II, steering the nation from the brink of economic disaster to becoming the fastest-growing major advanced economy in the world. Under his leadership, millions of jobs were created, education was transformed, and renewable energy became mainstream. He championed social progress by legalising same-sex marriage and met the target of allocating 0.7 per cent of national income on overseas aid, positioning Britain as a global leader in equality, international development, and environmental stewardship.
Beyond politics, Lord Cameron is deeply invested in advancing scientific and medical innovation. He serves as President of Alzheimer’s Research UK and chairs the Oxford-Harrington Rare Disease Centre’s Advisory Council, building on his initiation of the groundbreaking 100,000 Genomes Project. In addition to advising international businesses, he also contributes to global thought leadership as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations’ Global Board of Advisors, and as a Visiting Professor at NYU Abu Dhabi, where he teaches a course on Practising Politics in the Age of Populism.
At a time when the world is more dangerous, more volatile and more confrontational than most of us have ever known, Lord Cameron draws from his extensive experience to help organisations navigate current geopolitical risks and global trends, with insights from inside the rooms where key decisions have been made over the past two decades.
