Craig Oliver

Political and Communications Director, 10 Downing Street

Craig Oliver replaced Andy Coulson as David Cameron’s director of communications in 2011 after being recommended by Coulson following his resignation over the phone hacking scandal. As Cameron’s chief of communications, Oliver oversaw a successful election campaign in 2015 and was appointed to an enhanced role delivering domestic policy and ensuring the smooth running of Number 10 soon after. Unlike certain of his predecessors, he has largely managed to keep himself out of the spotlight during his time leading Cameron’s communications. He previously worked as a journalist at the BBC, latterly as controller of English at BBC global news.
