Claudia

Oliver Dowden's second new minder, as Senior Non-Exec at the DCMS, is Claudia Arney. Claudia is currently the Chair of Deliveroo PLC (arriving handily in November 2020, just before the float), and Remuneration Committee Chair of Kingfisher PLC and Derwent London PLC. She also serves as a member of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers.  She's just stood down as interim chair of The Premier League. 

Claudia, 50 (Bedales, Petersfield; BA English Literatue, Oxford University and MBA Insead) is from the Jay dynasty; one uncle is Peter Jay, former economics editor of The Times and the BBC. She started at McKinsey & Company, before holding roles at Pearson, the Financial Times, Goldman Sachs, and HM Treasury. She was CEO of Thestreet.co.uk, and Group Managing Director at EMAP.

Her husband, John Arney, is an investment banker.
