About the author

Andrew Elliott, The Institute of Actuaries

Andrew Elliott grew up in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa, and studied statistics and actuarial science at the University of Cape Town. He emigrated to the United Kingdom in the late 1980s to work on computer systems, eventually becoming a self-employed management consultant. He has co-founded several companies, Open Square in 2003, and Revolutionary Systems in 2014 to explore systems based on flexible models.

Frustrated by how quantitative information is presented in the media and public discussion, in 2016 Andrew started "Is That A Big Number?, a project to promote numeracy and the development of intuitive number sense.
