He is a senior leader with a career spanning over 20 years in the public sector, tackling some of the most complex social policy issues, including child poverty, pension reform, long term unemployment, manufacturing policy, and energy and climate change. He is an economist by profession, with a track record in applying economic principles and analytical approaches to strategy and policy across the public sector.
