Prime Minister of Grenada
Chairman CARICOM and Lead Head For Science and Technology
The Honourable Dickon Mitchell is Grenada’s 9th Prime Minister. A man of humble beginnings, Dickon Mitchell’s story is one of success, forged from hard work, determination, and a deep desire for betterment. Dickon Mitchell began his service to Grenada in 1996 as a teacher at his Alma Mater, the Presentation Brothers College.
This two-year stint allowed him to appreciate the full spectrum of the educational experience in Grenada and cemented his desire to do more by advocating for the educational advancement of all Grenadians. In 1998, he enrolled at the University of the West Indies in pursuit of a law degree.
After completing Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad, his commitment to serve Grenada brought him straight home where he commenced his law practice at Grant, Joseph, and Co. and immediately distinguished himself as a formidable lawyer, representing many individuals and business entities.
Three years later, he would acquire Grant, Joseph, and Co. In 2016, Dickon Mitchell opened another law firm, Mitchell & Co, a manoeuvre strongly influenced by his vision to create more employment for young and upcoming lawyers. His ambitions have always been tethered to his desire to give back and, as such, he has never divorced himself from the community.
Dickon Mitchell’s collective experiences as a teacher, mentor, lawyer and youth advocate shaped his commitment to Grenada and motivated his decision to enter the political arena. On June 23, 2022, only eight months into his political career, Dickon Mitchell led his party to victory. He was sworn in on June 24, 2022. As Prime Minister, the Honourable Dickon Mitchell is working, with his Cabinet of Ministers, to move Grenada forward — building the foundation for an equitable society that takes pride in its culture, heritage and identity.
