Mark Carney joins Macro Advisory Partners as senior counsellor
Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of Canada, has joined economic consulting firm Macro Advisory Partners (MAP) as a senior counsellor.
In his new role at MAP, Carney will advise corporations, investors, and foundations on issues including the post-pandemic economy, the impact of fiscal and monetary policies, digital currencies, and global trade outlook.
Carney – who served as governor of the Bank of Canada between 2008 and 2013 and governor of the Bank of England between 2013 and 2020 – will retain his current role at Toronto-based Brookfield Asset Management, where he oversees ESG and impact investing.
“Our clients look to us for advice in navigating a global economy defined by rising inflation pressures, US-China competition, geopolitical volatility, a complex energy transition, cyber risk and transformative digitalisation,” Nader Mousavizadeh, MAP founding partner and CEO. “Mark’s strategic counsel, drawing on his unique background in global finance and outstanding leadership in central banking, will enable us to match our leading geopolitical advice with global economic insight of exceptional value and impact.”
Prior to leading the central banks of England and Canada, Carney was senior associate deputy minister of the Department of Finance Canada and deputy governor of the Bank of Canada. Prior to entering public service, Carney spent 13 years at Goldman Sachs. He has doctorate and master’s degrees in economics from the University of Oxford and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard University.
“Now more than ever leaders are challenged by the complex intersection of global economic forces, politics, and corporate strategy, and I look forward to working with MAP’s leadership in counselling the firm’s clients to success,” Carney said.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in London, MAP supports clients across industries with strategic counsel focusing on the intersection of geopolitics, global economics, and regulatory policy. The consulting firm has more than 30 professionals, according to LinkedIn.
