Stuart Grant Roden (Companies House date of birth March 1963; officer ID orxJvCp-oocxK3SIudobhiYlMSc) is a British fund manager and public-appointment trustee. Forty appointments sit on this officer ID.[1]
He received a first-class BSc in economics from the London School of Economics, joined S.G. Warburg in 1984, later worked at McKinsey and as a managing director at Merrill Lynch, and in 2001 joined Lansdowne Partners to co-manage the Developed Markets / UK equities strategy with Peter Davies. He chaired Lansdowne until January 2019.[2][3]
Public appointments and charities
Prime Minister–appointed trustee of the National Gallery from 1 November 2019; reappointed from 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2027. Chair of that board’s Corporate and Donations Review Committee. The 2023 reappointment notice records a prior recordable donation to the Labour Party.[3]
Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Design Museum from June 2023 (trustee from 13 April 2023), succeeding Peter Mandelson.[4]
Chair and founder of social-mobility charity Unlocking Potential / The UP Foundation (CH appointments from August / November 2015).[2][1]
Other boards named on his National Gallery register of interests and on this CH file include Rabbi Sacks Legacy Trust (director from 4 June 2013; also styled Covenant & Conversation Trust on the ROI), Jewish Care (2011–2020), Magen David Adom UK (2006–2015), Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies (2008–2023), The Trustees of the Institute of Jewish Studies (2009–2023), The Warburg Charitable Trust (2020–2025), and LSE Council (director from 26 March 2021).[5][1]
The Financial Times reported that he was a major donor to Kids Company before its 2015 collapse and then co-founded Unlocking Potential. The Times reported Camila Batmanghelidjh’s claim that he helped secure a £3 million government grant for Kids Company shortly before it closed; that is her affidavit, not a court finding against him.[6][7]
