Lord
Peter Ricketts GCMG GCVO
Lord Ricketts was a British diplomat for 40 years.
In the final stage of his career, he served as Permanent
Under Secretary at the FCO 2006-10, and as Britain’s first National Security
Adviser from 2010-12. In that capacity he
established the National Security Council, and oversaw the 2010 National
Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review. He was Ambassador to France 2012-16. Earlier in his public service, Lord Ricketts
specialised in security and crisis management issues. He served twice in the UK
Delegation to NATO, in the 1970s and again as Permanent Representative from 2003-6. He was Chairman
of the Joint Intelligence Committee, and Political Director in the Foreign Office from 2001-3, dealing with policy on the Afghanistan
and Iraq
interventions, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. After retirement, he was
appointed a cross-bench member of the House of Lords (=non-political) and
divides his time between business activities (including as a Strategic Adviser to Lockheed Martin UK)
and public policy work. He is a Visiting Professor
in the War Studies Dept of King’s College London, and a Senior Associate
Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute.
Among his charitable activities, he is Chairman
of the Normandy Memorial Trust, charged with
building a national memorial in France to all those who fell under British
command during the Battle of Normandy in 1944.
