The City of London Corporation has today appointed David Vandivier as Managing Director of its US Office, as it looks to deepen ties with the world’s largest economy, to drive growth and jobs in both economies.

Based in Washington D.C., David Vandivier will strengthen the UK’s financial and professional services engagement with the United States, reflecting the City of London Corporation’s commitment to deepening transatlantic cooperation at a time of rapid economic, technological, and regulatory change. The US is the UK’s largest trading partner – with total trade worth over £322 billion, 62% of which is in services.

David Vandivier brings more than two decades of senior experience at the intersection of financial markets, public policy, and government affairs. He comes to the City Corporation having most recently served as Executive Director of the Psaros Centre for Financial Markets and Policy at Georgetown University, where he leads engagement with policymakers, regulators, and global market participants. 

Previously, he was Co-Head of U.S. Government Affairs at BNY Mellon and has held multiple senior roles at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as well as in the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and with the U.S. Senate Budget Committee.

Policy Chairman of the City of London Corporation, Chris Hayward said:

“We are thrilled to welcome David to lead our City Corporation US office. His depth of experience across the US public and private sectors will be crucial to deepening ties between our two great economies, unlocking further growth.”

 Managing Director of the City Corporation US Office, David Vandivier said:

“I am honoured to join the City of London Corporation at such an important moment for the UK–US relationship. The City has a unique role as a global convenor and advocate for financial and professional services, and I look forward to working with partners on both sides of the Atlantic to support growth, resilience, and international collaboration.”
