Former Executive Director at Warburg Dillon Read, where she worked on banking and privatisation teams. She is an expert on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) deals. She is the Treasury's top negotiator in the PPP scheme to part-privatise the London tube network, telling London transport commissioner Bob Kiley she 'could not sanction public control of the tube under any circumstances' on February 12th 2001.

According to a Guardian report in which she was 'niominated' to be a future Governor of the Bank of England by (BBC journalist and Social Market Foundation advisor) Evan Davies:

Shriti Vadera, a publicity-shy former banker, is one of the key figures behind the scenes in the Treasury, where she has been central to the development of public-private partnerships. She's the main point of contact between the Treasury and the City, and has impressed those she has dealt with. "She combines financial expertise and political common sense," says Evan Davis. "Her appointment would be greeted with gushing enthusiasm everywhere, from City wine bars to high-street charity shops - she is on Oxfam's council of trustees."
