Daniel Finkelstein is a British journalist, political commentator and former politician who brings rare insight into the intersection of media, policy and politics. His analytical perspective stems from experience at the highest levels of government and journalism.

He served as a member of the House of Lords since 2013 and previously advised Prime Minister John Major, participating in Cabinet meetings during the Conservative government's modernisation efforts.
Daniel helps organisations navigate complex political landscapes by translating abstract policy developments into practical business implications. His unique background spanning journalism, politics and think tanks enables him to identify emerging trends and explain how regulatory shifts and political realignments will reshape industries and market opportunities.
