From 2006 to 2010, Ricketts served under Blair and Prime Minister Gordon Brown as the Permanent Secretary for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
He served under Prime Minister Tony Blair as Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, leading him to give evidence to The Iraq Inquiry ("The Chilcot Report") in November 2009.
He was the UK government's first national security adviser from 2010 from 2012, serving under Prime Minister David Cameron.
Ricketts attended Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, Sutton Coldfield, and Pembroke College, Oxford, where he read English Literature.
He married Suzanne Horlington; they have two adult children.
He served under Prime Minister David Cameron as the UK National Security Adviser from 2010 to 2012.
He replaced Peter Westmacott as HM Ambassador to France effective January 2012, with Kim Darroch taking Ricketts's old role as National Security Adviser.
He has sat as a crossbencher in the House of Lords since 2016.
Ricketts served as chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) under Prime Minister Tony Blair.
In January 2016, he stepped down as the UK Ambassador to France and retired from the Diplomatic Service.

He now sits as a crossbencher.
Between 2016 and January 2022 he was a Strategic Adviser to Lockheed Martin UK.
In October 2020 a cross-party group of MPs and peers, backed by Lord Ricketts, planned to take legal action against Prime Minister Boris Johnson over his government's refusal to order an inquiry into Russian interference in UK elections.
The move followed the publication in July 2020 of the Russia report by parliament's intelligence and security committee (ISC), which found that the government and its intelligence services had failed to investigate Kremlin meddling in the 2016 EU referendum vote.
The high court claim named Prime Minister Johnson as defendant.
In April 2022, Ricketts called Marine Le Pen's proposal for a Franco-British defence cooperation treaty "ignorant and dangerous."
