[edit]

Gifford started his career in finance with SG Warburg (1978–82), working in international banking and capital markets. In 1982, he left to join a new merchant bank, Enskilda Securities, Skandinaviska Enskilda Bank and, from 1994 to 2000, he headed the bank's operations in Japan. From 2000 to 2017 he was SEB's UK country manager and was a Senior Banker. He was also Chair of the UK Green Finance Institute having led the Green Finance Initiative (2016) and the UK Government's Green Finance Taskforce (2017).

A former chairman of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce (UK) and of the Association of Foreign Banks (UK), he was a Chair of St Paul's Cathedral Council, Founding Chair of the City Music Foundation,[3] the English Chamber Orchestra charity and the Tenebrae Choir,[4] among other Arts involvements.

Gifford was elected as Alderman for the City of London Ward of Cordwainer in 2004 and was a member of the City of London Corporation Culture Heritage and Libraries Committee; he served as Sheriff of London from 2008 to 2009.

In October 2012, he was elected Lord Mayor of London and took office on 9 November.[5] Speaking after his election, Gifford said: "Next month will mark exactly 30 years since I joined SEB and 35 years since I first started working in the City. During this time, London's Square Mile has become a truly global centre – and the focus of my year in office will be to underline that service is, and must be, at the heart of the financial services industry of the UK. In other words that the City must serve society – and be seen to do so."[6]

While Lord Mayor, he carried the Mourning Sword at the funeral of Margaret Thatcher, leading the Queen and Prince Philip in and out of St Paul's Cathedral for the ceremony. The last time it had been used was at the state funeral of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965.[7]

Gifford's Lord Mayoral charitable appeal, under the banner "The City in Society", focused on the City of London as a global centre for philanthropy and the Arts.[8]
