Skilled at behavioural diagnosis, research design, and quantitative research, Saket has applied behaviour science principles to solve complex behavioural challenges

Human decision-making is something which Tony finds fascinating, and he is amazed by how insights from behavioural science can make significant impacts on people's outcomes. Tony joined the Shift team, HRW's in-house behavioural science unit, in early 2022 after working for an applied behavioural science consultancy in Australia where he managed and supported projects in the healthcare, government, FMCG, finance and technology industries. Prior to this, he obtained a MSc (Distinction) in Behavioural Economics from the University of Nottingham, which is where his interest in behavioural science really solidified.

Kate joined HRW after working in the Behavioural Practice at a social research and advisory business in the UK. Here she managed and supported projects applying mixed methods research and behavioral insights to understand and influence behaviour and decision making across a range of public policy areas. Prior to this she pursued her interest in human behaviour through an MSc in Behaviour Change at University College London, and a BSc in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Manchester.
