Iain Walker

Biography

Iain Walker has been the UK’s High Commissioner to Ghana since August 2017. Before this, he was a Board Member of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office in London as a Director of Finance and Strategy.

After studying law at the University of Dundee, Scotland, Iain moved to London where he qualified as a chartered accountant with EY focusing on banking and capital markets. He worked for an International non-government organisation in Malawi and Kenya, and then for the UN in Ethiopia, before he returned to London working in the Prime Minister’s Delivery Unit initially for Tony Blair and then Gordon Brown.

Arriving in Ghana on the 60th year of Independence, Iain’s priority is to draw on these strong, historic ties and focus on the future, shaping a UK-Ghana partnership which is even stronger for the next 60 years.
