I'm a chemist by training and a management consultant by profession. I've worked for everything from the oil industry to the NHS.

I have a particular aversion to obvious answers as they are too often both wrong and dangerous. As a result I seem to spend too much of my life arguing about government policy.

In my spare time I conduct evil experiments on my identical twins to differentiate nature and nurture.
