“Like many economists, Giles has a clear aptitude for using data. Yet what I felt set Giles apart, was his ability to not only leverage it for meaningful policy analysis, but to communicate this in way that was understandable to a non-technical audience.”

“Giles was professional, knowledgeable and affable. His expertise in data science, data analysis and interpretation helped me in examining gender implications and initiatives across the whole Solomon Islands budget. Giles excelled in supporting me to frame the analysis to communicate these insights to parliamentarians.”

Beyond the numbers...
I’m that person who gets genuinely excited about solving puzzles that seem impossible at first glance. My consulting adventures have taken me across the world — from bridging the gap between research and policy impact across Africa and South-Asia to supporting budget oversight and governance across the Asia-Pacific region.
What truly gets me out of bed in the morning is making a tangible difference. I’m selective about my projects—choosing impact over income—which means when I work with you, you’re getting someone who genuinely believes in what we’re doing. My approach blends analytical thinking with creative problem-solving, all wrapped up in a spirit of fun.
When I’m not crunching numbers or working on public policy, you might find me experimenting with AI, baking sourdough or doing an online course on my latest obsession.
