He has specialised in risk analysis and management since 1991. He works both as an independent consultant and as part of larger, multi-disciplinary teams.

His particular competence is in facilitating multi-disciplinary risk analysis workshops using the Futura approach/Lichtenberg Method. He recommends this because it can deliver a result to the customer in days rather than months. He is also familiar with several other quantitative Monte Carlo-based analysis tools that are commonly used by companies, including @Risk and PertMaster.
