Keynote speaker
Tom Gash is an adviser, researcher and writer, who helps people to think differently about the big challenges facing governments
and societies worldwide. He is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at University College London’s Jill Dando Institute of Security
and Crime Science, a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government and Managing Director of Leapwise, a strategic
consultancy.
Tom’s work focuses on two areas. First, crime policy, a topic he advised on in the UK Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit in the mid-
2000s and the focus of work with senior leaders in a range of geographies since then. Second, government effectiveness, the
focus of much of his consulting work and of his research at the Institute for Government, which he joined as part of its set-up in 2008. Tom was
the Institute’s Director of Research until August 2015 and led a range of high profile studies examining how to improve public services.
Tom is a regular commentator for UK radio (BBC), print (FT, Guardian, Times) and television (BBC, Sky) on both crime and public sector management
and he speaks internationally on these topics. His first book, CRIMINAL: The Truth About Why People Do Bad Things (Penguin 2016) was
shortlisted as a Sunday Times 2016 ‘Thought’ Book of the Year and was described by The Times as “as enlightening about crime in modern society
as any book that I have read”.
