There could be no better Chancellor for Cambridge University than Mohamed El-Erian.

As President of Queens’ College, he has shown deep care for students, each and every one. As a celebrated economist, he understands human motivations, creative energies, scientific breakthroughs, and political ambitions alike. 

His communication skills and media experience give him a well-known voice that is widely respected. With admirable ethical values and standards, he is compassionate, practical, highly emotionally intelligent and a person who delivers on all his promises.

He is both hugely warm-hearted on the one hand, and on the other forensically focused on the University of Cambridge leading the world in this time of global reorder.
