Rishi Sunak’s professional career journey showcases his dedication and relentless drive. He began his career at Goldman Sachs, where he honed his skills in finance. Subsequently, he transitioned to hedge fund management, serving as a partner at The Children’s Investment Fund Management and Theleme Partners. Despite his success in the private sector, Sunak’s interests were deeply rooted in public service, prompting him to run for the House of Commons representing Richmond in North Yorkshire in 2015.
After a successful campaign, he held various roles within the government, serving under Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Theresa May. His tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer was particularly notable; he played a crucial role in addressing the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, implementing measures to support businesses and individuals during a time of crisis.
Sunak made history in October 2022 when he became the first British Asian and Hindu to hold the office of Prime Minister, marking a significant milestone in British politics.
