David Cameron has joined Jeb Bush’s Florida-based private equity firm as an advisor, the FT reports.
The UK government’s appointments watchdog (ACOBA) announced that the former prime minister and foreign secretary had taken a role at Finback Investment Partners, a group with over $800 million in assets.
Since leaving office last year, Cameron also joined Florida-based freight payments business PayCargo in an advisory role. The ACOBA said that while limited, “there remains a risk that [Cameron] may be seen to draw on contacts in the private sector and foreign governments gained only as a result of his recent role in office.”
In the 2023-2024 parliamentary session at least ten former or current Conservative MPs were paid by private equity firms for political advice or speeches.
