I have particular expertise in:
- Developing and implementing policy
- Improving decision making within organisations, mainly focused on improving people’s reasoning process (e.g. predictive/​forecasting) that underpins how they make and communicate judgments.
- AI Safety policy

This has been achieved through being:

1) Director of Daymark Decision Insights, a company which provides consultative services and tailor made workshops related to improving decision making and reasoning processes to high-impact organisations (https://​​www.daymark-di.com/​​). More recently I’ve provided specific consultative services on policy development and advocacy to a large-scale AI safety organisation.

2) Director of Impactful Government Careers—an organisation focused on helping individuals find, secure, and excel in high impact civil service roles.

3) I spent 5 years working in the heart of the UK Government, with 4 of those at HM Treasury. With roles including:

- Head of Development Policy, HM Treasury
- Head of Strategy, Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation
- Senior Policy Advisor, Strategy and Spending for Official Development Assistance, HM Treasury

These roles have involved: advising UK Ministers on policy, spending, and strategy issues relating to international development; assessing the value for money of proposed high-value development projects; developing the 2021 CDEI Strategy and leading the organisational change related to this.

4) I’ve completed an MSc in Cognitive and Decision Sciences at UCL, where I have focused my research on probabilistic reasoning and improving individual and group decision-making processes. My final research project involved an experimental study into whether a short course (2 hours) on Bayesian reasoning could improve individual’s single-shot accuracy when forecasting geopolitical events.
