Ron Finlay

Ron Finlay is the Chief Executive of Fishburn Hedges. He is also one of the backers of Editorial Intelligence and an adviser to Julia Hobsbawm’s venture.

According to Fishburn Hedges' website, Finlay is still hands-on:

We are all client-focused. Everyone, from the chairman down, has client service as their priority. Both Neil Hedges and Ron Finlay, our chief executive, dedicate 75 percent of their time to client work.

And

During the Thatcher and Major years, his focus was financial services, including privatisations, while the Blair era saw him working largely in the public sector, on issues including road pricing, climate change, public health, skills development and the media. In the Brown age, he enjoys shaping the climate of opinion to enable behavioural change, whether in the culture of everyday life, such as smoking, drinking or gambling, or in the world of public service modernisation.
