In episode 5 Andrew talks to Sam Gyimah, former UK government minister and now non-executive director at Goldman Sachs, about the role of finance in serving and transforming society.

With a background in investment banking and politics – Sam is a former Conservative universities and science minister - he understands how to bring these worlds together to create real change.

Sam is also a leader led by his values. In 2018 he was one of only 21 Tory rebels who voted against a no-deal Brexit. It was a stand that ultimately cost him his political career.

Now back at Goldman Sachs, where he started out in corporate finance, the firm says he brings “a diversity of perspective” on innovation, ESG, and impact investing.

“Business has no choice but to find solutions,” he says.
