Nigel S. Wright (born May 18, 1963) is a Canadian businessman and lawyer. He served as the thirteenth Chief of Staff of the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada, from September 2010 to May 2013 and is a Managing Director in the London office of Onex Corporation. Wright resigned from the Prime Minister's Office 〔 after it was reported that he had given his own money to help Senator Mike Duffy repay the government for ineligible housing expenses. ==Early life== Wright was born in Hamilton, Ontario. He was adopted by an engineering technician, was raised in Burlington and spent some time in England. His parents were not wealthy.〔 He graduated "With High Distinction" from the University of Toronto's Trinity College with a B.A. degree in Politics and Economics, where his classmates included Jim Balsillie, Malcolm Gladwell, Tony Clement, Andrew Coyne, Patricia Pearson, and author and political strategist John Duffy (not related to Mike Duffy).〔 〕〔http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=81929&ticker=SPR&previousCapId=370857&previousTitle=BOEING%20CO〕 Wright was noted early on as a talented student. A political opponent and former classmate said that "back in the day, the question was 'Will Nigel be on the Supreme Court or be prime minister?’ He worked harder than anybody and he was pretty much the smartest guy in the room."〔 Jim Balsillie, the co-founder of BlackBerry Ltd, remembered thinking that he would have to "seriously up () inspiration levels if (was ) going to keep up with this kid."〔 English-Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell recalls him as “an exceedingly decent, sweet and good-natured person”, who appeared more mature and directed than his peers. “He just seemed like he had a much clearer sense of who he was than the rest of us.” At college, Wright was a campus activist for Brian Mulroney and co-founded ''The University of Toronto Magazine''; as editor, he emerged as an admirer of Margaret Thatcher. Wright went on to earn a LL.B (Honours) at the University of Toronto Law School in 1988 and LL.M. at Harvard Law School.〔〔 Robert Prichard, chair of Torys LLP and former head of University of Toronto’s law school, called Mr. Wright “among the very best and brightest of his generation.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/streetwise/bay-street-sings-praises-of-nigel-wright/article612497/ )〕 Often described by peers as a reclusive yet diligent 'workaholic', he has run half-marathons every morning for decades, suggesting an "unbelievably strong sense of control".〔
