Daniel Gilbert is a special adviser to Sajid Javid in the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and a former head of technology at Hanover Communications.[1]

Career

After graduating from university, Gilbert worked as a senior researcher to Adam Afriyie MP from 2007 to 2010.

Before joining government he was a senior account director and head of technology at Hanover Communications (2010-15), working in the healthcare field.[2]

He was a finalist in the 2012 Communique PR awards in the category: 'Young Achiever in Healthcare Communications'. His entry reads:[3]

'Against a backdrop of unprecedented government reforms and vast change to the NHS, modern healthcare communicators must deliver programmes that resonate with diverse, time-poor target audiences of policymakers, healthcare professionals, commissioners, patient groups and the public.
Tangible return on investment is a prerequisite, and communications must deliver real clinical and commercial outcomes for clients. In his first year in consultancy, Daniel achieved all of this in 2011, and for clients with a wide variety of needs, including: national broadcast and print news coverage, stakeholder engagement at the highest level, national and local NHS engagement, and input and shaping of government policy.'
