Career

Prior to 1996 Goldin was principal economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)[10] in London, and program director at the OECD[11] in Paris, where he directed the Development Centre's Programs on Trade, Environment and Sustainable Development.

From 1996 to 2001, Goldin was chief executive and managing director of the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA)[12][13] and served as an adviser to President Nelson Mandela.[14] He transitioned the Bank from an apartheid-era institution to a major agent for development in the 14 countries of Southern Africa.[15] During this period, Goldin was finance director for South Africa's Olympic Games bid.

Goldin was director of development policy at the World Bank[16] (2001–2003) and then vice president of the World Bank (2003–2006). He served on the Bank's senior management team, and was directly responsible for its relationship with the UK and all other European, North American and developed countries. Goldin led the Bank's collaboration with the United Nations and other partners. As Director of Development Policy, Goldin worked on the research and strategy agenda of the Bank, with the Chief Economist, Lord Nicholas Stern, under the leadership of James Wolfensohn. During this period, Goldin was special representative at the United Nations and served on the chief executive board of the UN and the UN Reform Task Force.

In 2006, Goldin became founding director of the Oxford Martin School.[2] The school established 45 programmes of research, with over 500 academics from over 100 disciplines.[17] He remained the School's director until September 2016 when Achim Steiner followed him in this position.

Goldin initiated and was vice-chair of the Oxford Martin Commission for Future Generations,[18] which brought together international leaders from government, business, academia, media and civil society to discuss a long-term perspective in international negotiations. Chaired by Pascal Lamy, the Commission published its findings in October 2013.[19]

He is an honorary trustee of Comic Relief and is chair of the trustees of the Core-Econ initiative to reform the economics curriculum and the teaching of economics. He is the writer and presenter of the BBC series 'After the Crash', 'The Pandemic that Changed the World', and documentary: 'Will AI Kill Development?'
