Ian Charles Watmore (born 5 July 1958) is a British management consultant and former senior civil servant under three prime ministers, serving from October 2016 as the First Civil Service Commissioner.
Born in Croydon, Surrey, he was educated at the Trinity School of John Whitgift and then graduated with a degree in mathematics and management studies from Trinity College, Cambridge. He trained as an management consultant with Andersen Consulting, and ultimately became Accenture's UK managing director from 2000 to 2004. This career involved IT and consulting in the private sector, and involved him joining the board of e-skills UK, the Sector Skills Council for IT, from 2000 until 2006, and serving as the president of the Management Consultants Association from 2003–04.
Watmore joined the UK civil service as the first Government Chief Information Officer (GCIO), taking over as head of the e-Government Unit, the direct successor to the Office of the e-Envoy in September 2004.
Fifteen months later, at the end of 2005, the Cabinet Office announced that Watmore was that next month to succeed his boss Sir Michael Barber as the second-ever head of the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit, reporting directly to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Secretary. Formally the "Chief Advisor to Prime Minister on Delivery", Watmore appointed John Suffolk, the Director General for IT from the Ministry of Justice, as his replacement GCIO in May, and Andrew Stott as his deputy on the GCTO side.
