I don't know much about SJ but it seems he's a smart chap. From Wiki:
Javid was born in Rochdale, Lancashire, one of five sons of parents of Pakistani descent.[3][4] His father was a bus driver.[5] His family moved from Lancashire to Stapleton Road, Bristol as his parents took over a shop there, and the family lived in a two bed flat above it.[6]
As a teenager, Javid developed an interest in financial markets, following the Thatcher government's privatisations. At the age of 14, he borrowed £500 from a bank to invest in shares and became a regular reader of the Financial Times.[6]
Javid was educated from 1981 to 1986 at Downend School, a state comprehensive near Bristol. Speaking in 2014, Javid confessed that while at school 'I was naughty, more interested in watching Grange Hill than homework'.[6] Javid subsequently attended Filton Technical College from 1986 to 1988, and finally the University of Exeter from 1988 to 1991. At Exeter he studied economics and politics and became a member of the Conservative Party.[7][8]
When he was twenty, Javid attended his first Conservative Party Conference and campaigned against the Thatcher government's decision in that year to join the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM), calling it a "fatal mistake".[9]
Javid joined Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City immediately after university, working mostly in South America. Aged 25, he became vice-chairman.[10] He returned to London in 1997, and later joined Deutsche Bank as a director in 2000. In 2004 he became a managing director at Deutsche Bank and, one year later, global head of Emerging Markets Structuring.[11]
In 2007 he relocated to Singapore as head of Deutsche Bank's credit trading, equity convertibles, commodities and private equity businesses in Asia,[12] and was appointed a board member of Deutsche Bank International Limited. He left Deutsche Bank in 2009 to pursue a career in politics. His earnings at Deutsche Bank would have been roughly £3m a year at the time he left

i like the way people in banking like to flag up being vice chairman to impress the layman,im afraid in an american banking outfit a vice chairman is one up from a tea boy.

Barry Hearn's hopeless at snooker. He'll go 45 minutes without potting a ball and then sink three one after the other.
Roy Hodgson's dad was a bus driver and Lenny Lawrences dad was a conductor on the same bus! I like to think they were plotting taking over the world with the 442 system.
