Timeline
Dixon has an older brother, Mark Pierson Dixon, born in 1962.
Dixon was a King's Scholar at Eton and gained a first in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Balliol College, Oxford.
Hugo Duncan Dixon (born December 1963) is a British business journalist and the former editor-in-chief and chairman of the financial commentary website Breakingviews which he co-founded.
The couple divorced in 1970 when Dixon was six.
Dixon's first job was as an intern at The Economist in 1985.
A year later, he became junior banking correspondent for the Financial Times (FT).
In 1988, aged 24, he was seconded to work for the then Social Democratic Party (SDP) leader Bob Maclennan to write the manifesto for the party's merger with the Liberals.
Voices and Choices For All became known as 'the dead parrot document' after the famous Monty Python sketch because, when Liberal MPs read about its proposals in this paper, they barricaded their leader David Steel into his Commons office and told him he would be turfed out if he backed the controversial document – copies of which had already been left for journalists waiting at the press conference to announce the merger.
Dixon also began working as telecoms and electronics correspondent for the FT in the same year.
In 1993 Dixon became leader writer for the FT, and a year later became editor of the paper's Lex column.
He was the editor of the Financial Times Lex column from 1994 to 1999, and a visiting fellow at Saïd Business School, Oxford University.
He is the great-grandson of former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
Inspired by an interview with Bill Gates in 1999, Dixon quit his job at the FT and co-founded – with his colleague from the FT, Jonathan Ford – Breakingviews, a website providing financial commentary.
In 2007, Dixon and Ford fell out and Ford left to help set up a rival financial commentary website at Reuters.
In 2009, Dixon sold Breakingviews to Reuters for £13 million, making himself £2.5 million, with a retention bonus for Dixon to stay on as the website's editor for the following three years.
The move meant that Ford lost his position at Reuters.
Dixon continued as Breakingviews editor until 2012 when he became its commentator-at-large.
For a time, he contributed a fortnightly column to the website.
Dixon is pro-EU and opposed to Brexit.
He is the chair and editor-in-chief of InFacts, a website that focuses on facts and factual analysis about Brexit.
Dixon has written several pro-EU articles for The Guardian and The Independent in the aftermath of the Referendum.
Dixon is a visiting fellow at Saïd Business School, Oxford University.
