Ex-diplomat will steer bank’s ‘strategic ambitions’ months after quitting Whitehall post
Mark Sedwill, the UK’s former most senior civil servant, is to join the investment bank Rothschild & Co in his first appointment after leaving Whitehall this year.
Lord Sedwill quit as cabinet secretary, head of the civil service and national security adviser in June. His departure was seen as a victory for Dominic Cummings, the prime minister’s then most senior aide who had a tense relationship with Sedwill, as well as for Michael Gove, the cabinet minister pushing through a restructuring of government departments.
