Her appearance follows the relaunch of the Office for Investment last week – eight months after Sir Keir Starmer promised to beef up the hub, though ministers have insisted the office had ‘remained operational throughout this period’.

Gustafsson, 42, left cybersecurity firm Darktrace in September last year ahead of its £4.3billion sale to US private equity firm Thoma Bravo.
