MAKING MOVES
FINANCE
MICHAEL SHERWOOD, 42
GOLDMAN SACHS
Promotion to the global post of vice-chairman means he is now the undisputed top dog in London and number four in the hierarchy of the US investment bank. He grew up as a nice Jewish boy in north-west London and is now said to be worth £225 million. His duties mean he is a less frequent visitor to White Hart Lane. But "Fat Mike", as he is known by friends at Spurs, takes an occasional private jet to see big games.
GROWING IMPACT
ENVIRONMENT
JOSS GARMAN, 22
ECO-WARRIOR, PLANE STUPID
Co-founder of Plane Stupid, the campaign group that staged the Houses of Parliament rooftop protest against a third runway at Heathrow. Having been arrested more than 20 times, Garman stayed in the background while his well-connected friends stormed Westminster. He won't discuss what he is plotting next but there is talk of a summer demo in Hyde Park.
TV AND RADIO
PETER FINCHAM, 51
ITV DIRECTOR OF TELEVISION
A renaissance for the former BBC1 controller who lost his job over the wrongly edited video of the Queen. He succeeds Simon Shaps, who struggled to turn around ITV's programming. If he can do better, he stands an outside chance of succeeding Michael Grade as company boss.
NEW ON THE LIST
ART
CHEYENNE WESTPHAL, 40
SOTHEBY'S
Prada-wearing European chairman of contemporary art who presided over last week's record-breaking £95 million auction, where a Francis Bacon sold for £25 million and an Andy Warhol for £11 million. Westphal, who sits on the board of Sotheby's, is a regular fixture at London's swishest events and regularly flies to New York to schmooze would-be clients over her favourite dish of caviar with cheese on toast.
ART
ANTHONY D'OFFAY, 68
PHILANTHROPIST
Retired dealer sold £125 million of contemporary art by the likes of Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol for just £26.5 million, the price he paid for it. The Tate is among museums that will benefit after the Government stumped up much of the cash and paid his tax bill. D'Offay gave up running his gallery off Bond Street in 2001.
UNDER PRESSURE
BUSINESS
SIR NIGEL RUDD, 61
CHAIRMAN BAA
Not much can faze the chairman of the British Airports Authority but he is facing real problems over the running of London's air terminals. BAA has been accused of installing too many duty-free shops rather than improving service. Father-ofthree Rudd has responded by hiring turnaround king Colin Matthews as new BAA chief executive.
UP AND COMING
SOCIETY
PRINCE HARRY, 23
ARMY OFFICER
Harry has shown admirable determination in getting to the frontline in Afghanistan. As Cornet Wales, his self-deprecating manner and can-do spirit are a revelation and suggest there is more to him than being a party-loving prince.
