Kate Fall served as deputy-chief of staff to the former Prime Minister David Cameron from 2010 to 2015, [1] for which she earned a salary of £100,000 a year. [2]
In January 2017, Fall became an adviser for the financial and corporate lobbying firm Brunswick. [3] Since January 2017, she is one of five of Cameron's former special advisers now working in the lobbying industry. [4]
Background
Daughter of Sir Brian Fall (former ambassador to Moscow in the 1990s), Fall met David Cameron while at Oxford. She worked on his successful 2001 campaign to win a seat in Witney. [5]
According to The Telegraph:
- Met Mr Cameron at Oxford and worked with Mr Osborne in the research department. An identical twin, she is beautiful and enigmatic, preferring to keep out of the limelight. The daughter of a former ambassador, she concentrates on making sure Mr Cameron is always well briefed and on time and ensures he keeps in touch with MPs, donors and dignitaries. She developed her skills working in Michael Howard's office and as director of The Atlantic Partnership think tank. She is one of the few aides who has a family. Her husband Ralph Ward-Jackson runs the Art London fair and she lives with their two young children, Olivia and Guy, in Battersea.[6]
Affiliations
- Atlantic Partnership think tank - former director
- Friend of former Tory whip Robert Syms's ex-wife Fiona-Natasha Syms, who publicly tweeted (with the hashtag #awkward) a text from Fall saying how sorry she was about Sym's sacking in the October 2013 government reshuffle. [7]
