Sarah Elizabeth Mary Hogg, Viscountess Hailsham, Baroness Hogg (néeBoyd-Carpenter; born 14 May 1946), is a British economist, journalist, and politician. She was the first woman to chair a FTSE 100 company.
Hogg was an economics editor for The Independent. She was also an early presenter of Channel 4 News, but her voice, with its uncertainty of pitch, was felt by many viewers to be a distraction.[4] At this time she portrayed Margaret Thatcher in a television docudrama of negotiations between the UK and Irish governments.[5]

Hogg was the head of the Prime Minister's Policy Unit for Sir John Major.[6] With Jonathan Hopkin Hill, she wrote about the Major years in her book Too Close to Call.
