Policy Analytics, Health Economics & Decision Analytics for Public Systems

I support governments, donors, and public-sector leaders to make high-stakes planning, financing, and scale-up decisions using applied analytics, forecasting, and health economics. My work focuses on translating complex system data into clear, defensible choices that balance affordability, feasibility, and impact in resource-constrained environments.

With over 15 years of experience across national and provincial systems, I bring a practical blend of policy analytics, demand forecasting, and economic modelling to inform budgeting, programme design, and accountability. For detailed career history and technical depth, please refer to the CV page.
