Bio

I worked as part of Selwyn's team for over a year on a major project at EY. As well as providing strategic leadership, he was always in control of daily team activities, providing guidance and support and developing his colleagues by sharing his in-depth knowledge of data analytics techniques and tools. His people management skills were also excellent, and he has a proven track record of developing and leading high performing teams. His warm personal approach made it a pleasure working with him.

Selwyn's key strength is in putting his educational background in epidemiology and his vast experience across industries (pharma, FMCG, automotive) into advising on, designing and executing the most insightful analyses possible. He tends to extract maximum value for clients from their existing data, all the while taking care that all emanating recommendations are based on sound statistical foundations. In addition to that he also manages to portray the analyses he is planning to do very plastically to other team members not so expert in the methods used and to clients, so that a constructive discussion on their use can be had involving a wider group of people. While client facing duties originally did not feature heavily in Selwyn's job description, he more than rose to the occasion when given the opportunity and managed to quickly build trust and lasting relationships with clients at all seniority levels. Finally, working with Selwyn on the team is always a pleasure, he is very hard working, reliable, motivated and excited about the work he does, and he is a straight talking, open and very engaging colleague, who can always be counted upon keeping team spirits up.
