Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has joined Microsoft Corp. and Anthropic AI as a senior adviser while remaining MP for Richmond and Northallerton. Sunak will guide both firms on global strategy, macroeconomics, and geopolitical trends, avoiding UK-specific policy per ACOBA rules. He cannot lobby UK officials or use privileged government information for two years. Sunak stated the roles align with his belief in technology’s transformative power and pledged all earnings to The Richmond Project, a charity he co-founded with wife Akshata Murty. This follows his July advisory return to Goldman Sachs, marking a shift from public office to strategic roles in global tech and finance. (PC: Biography)
