In line with his campaign pledge to ensure his top team reflects the ethnic diversity of London, the Mayor has made Kulveer Ranger, 32, director for transport policy.

Mr Ranger, the most senior Sikh in the Tory hierarchy, was David Cameron's vice-chairman with responsibility for cities.

A former Parliamentary candidate, he is a management consultant who was "lead delivery manager" of the Oystercard when it was introduced by Transport for London in 2003, City Hall said.

He attracted controversy last year when he wrote an article warning Mr Cameron of the dangers of being seen by the public as a "toff " referring to "the aristocratic tinge to his heritage" and the "Bullingdon Club photo".

Mr Ranger will be one of 10 mayoral appointments that Mr Johnson is entitled to make as he builds up an inner circle. As well as being involved in the Oystercard implementation, he had a role in the commercial negotiations on the redevelopment of King's Cross and a deal to get a £70 million Thameslink station nearby.

Mr Ranger will oversee the relationship between the Greater London Authority and TfL to ensure the delivery of the Mayor's priorities. According to City Hall, Mr Ranger has delivered a series of proposals to cool the Tube.
