Lord John Eatwell

John Eatwell is Director of the Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance, and Professor of Financial Policy at the Judge Business School, University of Cambridge. He has taught economics and finance at Cambridge since 1970. He became President of Queens’ College, Cambridge in 1997. From 1980 to 1996 he was also a Professor in the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research, New York. He has been a Visiting Professor at Columbia University, New York, the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and the University of Amsterdam.

From 1985 to 1992, John Eatwell served as economic adviser to Neil Kinnock, the then leader of the Labour Party. In that post he was res- ponsible for much of the work that led to a substantial re-alignment of the Labour Party’s economic policies. In 1992 he entered the House of Lords, and from 1993 to 1997 was Principal Opposition Spokesman on Treasury and Economic Affairs. In 1988, together with Clive Hollick, he set up the Institute for Public Policy Research, which has now established itself as one of Britain’s leading policy think tanks. He was Chairman from 1997 to 2000, and remains a Trustee.

In 1997 he joined the Board of the Securities and Futures Authority (SFA), Britain’s securities markets regulator (up to the end of 2001), serving on the Enforcement Committee and the Capital Committee. When the SFA ceased to operate he became a member of the Regulatory Decisions Committee of the Financial Services Authority (until 2006).

John Eatwell is a non-executive director of Cambridge Econometrics (an economic research firm), Rontech Ltd (a producer of management software for the financial services sector), and of SAV Credit Limited (a credit card company). He is an adviser to the private equity firms Warburg Pincus & Company International Ltd and Palamon Capital Partners. He was a non-executive director of Anglia Television Ltd. from 1994 to 2001. From 1997-2000 he chaired the British Screen group of companies (which included British Screen Finance, British Screen Rights, and the National Film Trustee Company). From 2000- 04 he chaired the Commercial Radio Companies Association.
