Howard Davies played an instrumental role in the rehabilitation of the once-beleaguered Royal Bank of Scotland Group. It was bailed out by the British government at the depth of the global financial crisis. Under his stewardship, it was rebranded as NatWest Group in 2020 as it began to revitalise its core businesses and dedicate itself to its customers in the United Kingdom (UK).

Beyond transforming NatWest Group, Davies also influences policy discourse and development in the global financial industry through the six books on the economy and finance he has authored, and his boardroom presence around the world. He has been a member of the international advisory council of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission since 2003 and has chaired the international advisory council of the China Securities Regulatory Commission since 2012.

However, he is a bank regulator at the core, and was one before he became a banker. He served as deputy governor of the Bank of England (BoE) between 1995 and 1997 and was subsequently appointed as the first chairman of the newly set up Financial Services Authority (FSA) between 1997 and 2003.

He then became the director of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) from 2003 to 2011, during which he actively supported its collaboration with leading foreign universities. Today, the group includes University of California, Berkeley, United States (US); University of Cape Town, South Africa; Columbia University, New York, US; Fudan University, Shanghai, China; Peking University, Beijing, China; French School of Political Science in Paris (Sciences Po), France; and the National University of Singapore.

He is also currently a professor of practice at Sciences Po, teaching courses in banking regulation and central banking, making him a relevant and important authority on global economics, finance and regulation.
