As reported on by the BBC, on October 9, 2025, Rishi Sunak was appointed as a senior advisor on a part-time basis at both Microsoft and Anthropic. These are not full-time management roles, but senior advisory positions focused on providing high-level strategic insight.

For context, Sunak served as the United Kingdom’s 98th Prime Minister from 25 October 2022 until 4 July 2024, leading the Conservative Party until Labour’s victory under Keir Starmer.
