In 1973 he came to Anglo headquarters in South Africa, where he spent most of his career in the gold and uranium division, serving as its chairman and CEO from 1990 to 1996. In the early 1980s, Sunter established a scenario planning function at Anglo with teams in London and Johannesburg. He is probably best known for his ‘High Road/Low Road’ scenarios for South Africa in the 1980s. His 2001 book, "The Mind of a Fox", co-authored with Chantell Ilbury, anticipated a major terrorist attack on a western city before the 9/11 tragedy in New York. The book sold more than 50 000 copies. Since 1987, Clem has authored or co-authored 18 books, many of them bestsellers. He has given scenario presentations worldwide, including lectures at the Harvard Business School in Boston and at the Central Party School in Beijing. Sunter married Margaret Rowland in 1969 and they have one daughter and two sons. His hobbies include walking and rock music although he hung up his guitar professionally in 1964 shortly after his band played at the same gig as the Rolling Stones.view less
