His deep understanding of global markets and economic trends has established him as a leading voice in the field of economics.

Jim O’Neill| Global Economist

Before his tenure at the Treasury, O’Neill had a prolific career at Goldman Sachs, where he worked from 1995 to 2013. As the Chief Economist, and later the Chairman of their Asset Management Division, O’Neill was instrumental in managing over US$800 billion in assets. His expertise in identifying and analyzing emerging markets has made him a sought-after speaker at global economic forums and conferences.

One of O’Neill’s most notable achievements is the creation of the acronym “BRIC,” which stands for Brazil, Russia, India, and China. This term has become synonymous with the discussion of emerging market economies and has influenced countless investment and policy decisions. O’Neill’s extensive research and insights into these economies have made him an expert in global economic trends and a valuable advisor to both governments and corporations.

Expertise and Background

Jim O’Neill’s career at Goldman Sachs marked him as one of the most influential economists of his generation. Joining the firm in 1995, he quickly rose through the ranks due to his keen analytical skills and innovative thinking. As Chief Economist, O’Neill was responsible for guiding Goldman Sachs’ economic research and forecasting, providing critical insights that shaped the firm’s global strategy.

In 2010, O’Neill was appointed Chairman of Goldman Sachs’ Asset Management Division, a newly created position reflecting his exceptional leadership and expertise. Under his stewardship, the division managed assets worth over US$800 billion, making it one of the largest asset managers globally. O’Neill’s strategic vision and deep understanding of global markets were key to the division’s success.

O’Neill is perhaps best known for coining the term “BRIC” in a 2001 research paper, highlighting the economic potential of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. This groundbreaking concept has since become a fundamental part of economic discussions and has driven substantial investment into these markets. O’Neill’s research on the BRIC economies has been widely published and continues to influence policymakers and investors worldwide.

Beyond his work at Goldman Sachs, O’Neill has been an influential voice in public policy. As Commercial Secretary to the UK Treasury, he was responsible for promoting the UK’s economic interests globally. He played a crucial role in initiatives aimed at boosting economic growth and addressing regional disparities within the UK.

O’Neill’s contributions to economic thought and policy have earned him numerous accolades. He is a regular commentator in major financial media and a sought-after speaker at international economic forums. His ability to distill complex economic concepts into accessible insights has made him a popular figure among both policymakers and the general public.
