Portrait of Tim Hogg

Tim Hogg Senior Consultant

I was extremely impressed by Oxera’s use of behavioural economics to gather new insights into consumer behaviour. The research has made a significant impact with stakeholders in Government, the Regulator and in Parliament. Tim and the team were a real pleasure to work with too.

Prakash Chandramohan, Strategy Director, TISA
