Early life

Gardam was born on 14 January 1956 to the novelist Jane Gardam.[1] He studied at Rokeby Preparatory School,[3] Westminster School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he obtained a double first in English.[2]

Career

He subsequently worked at the BBC (where he created Timewatch and edited Newsnight), and as director of programmes at Channel 4.[4][5] He was then appointed by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to lead a review of digital radio in Britain.[6]

In January 2008, he began a three-year term on the board of Ofcom,[7] the independent regulatory authority for the UK communications industries. He was subsequently reappointed for a second three year term.[7]

In 2004, he was elected Principal of St Anne's College, Oxford, succeeding Ruth Deech.[8]. In early 2016, Gardam announced that he would be stepping down as principal at the end of the academic year, in order to become chief executive of the Nuffield Foundation.[9]
