Former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has joined Microsoft and AI startup Anthropic as a senior adviser, marking his first major private sector roles since stepping down as Conservative Party leader after the July general election defeat.
In a LinkedIn post on Thursday, Sunak said all proceeds from the part-time advisory roles will be donated to , a charity he founded with his wife, Akshata Murty.
Amazon and Google-backed Anthropic confirmed that Sunak's appointment complied with the rules set by the UK's Advisory Committee on Business Appointments ACOBA, which regulates post-ministerial jobs.
