NEWS STORY : CBI Sack Director General Tony Danker
STORY
The CBI has announced that Tony Danker, the Director General of the lobbying group, has been dismissed following an internal investigation. The organisation is facing additional reputational issues following damaging allegations made in the Guardian newspaper about misconduct, sexual harassment and rape at the CBI.
The CBI said:
“Tony Danker is dismissed with immediate effect following the independent investigation into specific complaints of workplace misconduct against him. The Board wishes to make clear he is not the subject of any of the more recent allegations in The Guardian but has determined that his own conduct fell short of that expected of the Director General.”
They added:
“We are pleased to announce that Rain Newton-Smith, former CBI Chief Economist and currently Managing Director, Strategy and Policy, Sustainability and ESG for Barclays, has agreed to rejoin the CBI as its new Director General. She brings with her a formidable track record as a leader and expertise on a wide range of business issues. We thank Chief Policy Director Matthew Fell for his vital work as interim Director General during these difficult last few weeks and look forward to him again driving forward our policy work for members.”
