Chris Snowden is the respected and mild-mannered leader of the University of Surrey. But it is by virtue of his presidency of Universities UK that he has landed on this list. Often called to meetings at the heart of government as UUK President, Snowden plays a critical role in representing the sector’s interests often through complicated and high-stakes negotiations. His business background and academic credentials in engineering give him credibility with policymakers, particularly in the Treasury. He has recently been appointed Vice Chancellor of the University of Southampton, a post he will take up later this year. But he will need to work hard to stay on the Power List next year without the UUK presidency behind him.
