Stephen Barber
Advisory Council Member
Stephen Barber sits on the boards of several charities and boards centred on the environment, arts and science, including the International Tree Foundation and the History of Science Museum Oxford. After reading Mathematics and Philosophy at Oxford, he spent some decades in finance, most recently as head of communications at the Pictet Group. He founded and built the global photography award, Prix Pictet, whose subject is environmental sustainability.
Postcards sent home from East Africa in the 1960s by his father, a BBC African Service journalist, stimulated a childhood affinity for elephants, which has only grown since.
