## Biography

Rt Hon Lord Philip Hammond is a former UK Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer, who served as the Conservative MP for Runnymede and Weybridge for 22 years, from 1997 until 2019.

As a Cabinet minister and key member of the UK Government for almost a decade, Lord Hammond can point to a series of notable political achievements. He oversaw the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), which reshaped the UK’s military capabilities to make it more adaptable and able to meet modern threats. He also played a key role in diplomatic negotiations, particularly in the immediate aftermath of Brexit and against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Middle East.

As Chancellor, Lord Hammond oversaw record levels of employment at a time when the UK was the second-fastest growing economy in the G7. He had a stablising influence on the public finances, with debt falling as a proportion of GDP by the time he left office.

Lord Hammond offers strategic guidance to Penta’s key clients, advising senior executives on their commercial and business challenges. He also support Penta’s leadership team as the firm continues on its ambitious growth trajectory.
