Sharon White

Chief Executive, Ofcom

In the short time since she took up her post as chief executive at OfCom in March 2015, Sharon White has more than delivered on her impressive reputation. Lauded as a breath of fresh air at the regulator, White’s plans for improvements signal her determination to make the broadcasting and telecommunications industries fairer for consumers: one of her first changes was to enable customers to walk away from broadband contracts if their connection speed falls below acceptable levels. White studied at Cambridge and gained a Master’s in Economics from UCL. In 1989 she joined the Civil Service and worked at the Treasury, latterly as director-general for public spending.
