Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Lady de Rothschild (born Lynn Forester; July 2, 1954) is an American-British businesswoman who is the chief executive officer of E.L. Rothschild, a holding company she owns with her third husband, Sir Evelyn Robert de Rothschild, a member of the Rothschild family. The company manages investments in The Economist Group, owner of The Economist magazine, Congressional Quarterly and the Economist Intelligence Unit, E.L. Rothschild LP, a leading independent wealth management firm in the United States, as well as real estate, agricultural and food interests.
She publicly supports many politicians including Hillary Clinton. She also rallies for a political movement called Inclusive Capitalism. She led the Conference of Inclusive Capitalism in London in 2014 and 2015 and founded the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism.
Born in Bergen County, New Jersey, a suburb of greater New York City, and raised in Oradell, New Jersey, the only girl among three brothers, Rothschild is the daughter of Annabelle (née Hewitt) and John Kenneth Forester, president and owner of the General Aviation Company, now Meridian, in Teterboro, New Jersey. She studied at Pomona College and Columbia Law School, where she volunteered for the US Senate campaign of Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan. She also studied international law at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.
After leaving law school, she was an associate at the Simpson Thacher & Bartlett law firm for four years, before working for telecommunications billionaire John Kluge in the 1980s, helping him acquire small companies that held local cellular licenses.
Rothschild then invested in telecoms businesses in North America and Europe, in partnership with Motorola, claiming in 2012 that by the late 1990s she was making a nine-figure salary. She became Executive Vice President for Development at Metromedia Inc from 1984–1989. From 1989–1995, Rothschild was the majority shareholder, Chairman and CEO, of TPI Communications International, Inc., one of the largest providers of paging, wireless data and cellular telephone service in Latin America, owned with Motorola. While under her management, TPI tripled its size and per-customer revenues, and cash flow grew to three times the U.S. average. In addition, she expanded operations from Puerto Rico into Latin America. She sold her stake in TPI to Motorola in 1995 for a figure reportedly between $80 million and $100 million.
