Biography edit
Escudero was born on 29 March 1946 in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa.[1][2] He graduated in business sciences at the Universidad de Deusto and obtained a PhD at the London School of Economics.[3] Between 1987 and 1991, he worked as co-ordinator of the "Programa 2000" of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).[4] He was professor[ambiguous] of macroeconomics at the IE Business School in Madrid between 1991 and 2005 as well as the director of the Global Compact Research Center at the Levin Institute.[5] Linked within the PSOE to Josep Borrell,[6] in 2003 he became a member of the Congress of Deputies representing Madrid, covering the vacant seat left by José Quintana Viar.[2] Escudero, who later took a step back from the political activity,[6] returned to the PSOE and was appointed secretary responsible for the area of economic policy and employment of the PSOE.
Following the accession of Pedro Sánchez to the post of prime minister in June 2018, Escudero was appointed chief ambassador of the Spanish delegation to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),[7] replacing José Ignacio Wert.[8]
