Arthur Sinodinos (born 25 February 1957) is an Australian diplomat and former Liberal Party politician who was the Ambassador to the United States between February 2020 and March 2023.

Sinodinos graduated from the University of Newcastle in 1979 with a Bachelor of Commerce with Honours.

He then entered the Australian Public Service as a graduate recruit, working within the Department of Finance, before working in the Department of the Treasury between 1980 and 1987 and again between 1989 and 1995.

1997

He served as Chief of Staff to Prime Minister John Howard from 1997 to 2007 and was a Senator for New South Wales from 2011 to 2019, becoming a minister in the Abbott and Turnbull governments.

Sinodinos was born in Newcastle, New South Wales, and attended the University of Newcastle.

For many years he was a public servant until becoming a political adviser.

In 1997 he was appointed Chief of Staff to John Howard.

He was the Chief of Staff to then Prime Minister John Howard from 1997 to 2006, after serving with him previously from 1987 to 1989 when he was Opposition Leader and rejoining him in 1995.

As a close confidant of the Prime Minister, he was regarded as one of the most powerful people in the country.

Sinodinos left his position as the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff to become a director with the investment bank Goldman Sachs JBWere, and a regional general manager at the National Australia Bank; he reportedly declined an offer to become Australian Ambassador to the United States.

2014

Sinodinos later stepped aside from his ministerial duties in 2014 during an investigation by the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

Initially touted as a candidate for the lower house seat of Bradfield, Sinodinos was appointed to the Australian Senate representing New South Wales, replacing the resigned Liberal Senator Helen Coonan for the remainder of her term, which was due to expire on 30 June 2014.

During the enquiry Sinodinos advised he was unaware of a $74,000 donation made to the Liberal Party by Australian Water Holdings, despite being Deputy chairman on a $200,000 salary.

At the time of the payment Sinodinos was also Treasurer of the Liberal Party.
