LSE Alumni Shaping the World

World leaders and politicians

Over the decades since LSE’s founding, world leaders and politicians from LSE’s alumni community have championed positive change by raising awareness, mobilising support and driving policy change to address pressing societal challenges. As advocates for social justice, economic growth and environmental sustainability, these political heavyweights have transformed countries, continents and institutions through their governance and leadership.
