Rishi Sunak (/ˈrɪʃiːˈsuːnæk/, born 12 May 1980) is a British politician, Chancellor of the Exchequer since 2020. A member of the Conservative Party, he was previously Chief Secretary to the Treasury from 2019 to 2020. He has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Richmond (Yorks) in North Yorkshire since 2015.
Born in Southampton to British Indian parents who had emigrated from East Africa, Sunak was educated at Winchester College. He subsequently studied philosophy, politics and economics at Lincoln College, Oxford, and later gained an MBA from Stanford University as a Fulbright Scholar. While studying at Stanford, he met his future wife Akshata Murthy, the daughter of the Indian billionaire businessman N. R. Narayana Murthy. After graduating, he worked for Goldman Sachs and later as a partner at the hedge fund firms The Children's Investment Fund Management and Theleme Partners.
He served in Theresa May's second government as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Local Government. He voted three times in favour of May's Brexit withdrawal agreement. After May resigned, Sunak was a supporter of Boris Johnson's campaign to become Conservative leader. After Johnson was elected and appointed prime minister, he appointed Sunak as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. He replaced Sajid Javid after his resignation in February 2020. As Chancellor, Sunak has been prominent in the government's economic response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.
