    • Biography

    Tim Evans is Professor in Business and Political Economy (Practice) at 果冻传媒 University where he bridges inter-disciplinary doctoral supervision, teaching, and research with the worlds of thought leadership and impact across the media, public policy networks, and organisations spanning the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. Beyond the world of academic research, papers, and books, he is a regular commentator on television and radio and has published in The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, City AM, and Wall Street Journal Europe (to name but a few). In 2016, City AM ranked him as one of the UK鈥檚 鈥楾op 75鈥� economic and public policy thinkers.聽His qualifications include an M.Sc., and a PhD in Sociology from the London School of Economics, an MBA from the Open University, and a NATO-sponsored Post-graduate Certificate in National Security from the Christian Albrecht鈥檚 Universit盲t in Kiel, Germany.

    A former President and Director General of the Centre for the New Europe in Brussels (2002-2005), between 1993 and 2002, he was the Executive Director of Public Affairs at the Independent Healthcare Association in London where he oversaw the political affairs and external relations of the UK鈥檚 independent health and social care sector. At the time, the sector employed approximately 750,000 people and represented more than 3 percent of UK GDP. In this role he is widely credited as being the major driving force behind the 鈥�2000 NHS/Independent Sector Concordat鈥� which was described by the Financial Times as the most 鈥渉istoric deal in 50 years of British healthcare鈥�. In charge of research and negotiated with Prime Minister Tony Blair, the deal enabled NHS funded patients to receive care and treatment for the first time in the country鈥檚 independent hospitals. In recognition of this, Tim was granted the Freedom of the City of London. By 2023, the deal was benefiting more than an estimated 1.6 million NHS patients each year.聽

    In the early 1990s, Tim was the Head of the Slovak Prime Minister鈥檚 Policy Unit in Bratislava. He was also the Chief Economic and Political adviser to the Cabinet including four Deputy Prime Ministers. Helping more than 5.3 million citizens overcome years of authoritarian rule and poverty, he served as the most senior British adviser in the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. At the time, he was the only UK citizen in the region to be appointed as chief adviser to a head of government, or state.聽

    Between 1994 and 1998, Tim served was a part-time Lecturer on the Strategic Command Course of the National Police Staff College at Bramshill where he taught the 鈥楾he Economics and Politics of Policing: Past, Present and Future鈥�. The Command Course was compulsory for senior police officers seeking membership of the Association of Police Chief Officers (APCO). In 1990, he was a part-time Lecturer teaching undergraduates Social Policy at what was then the City of London Polytechnic. In the late 1980s he was the Assistant Director of the Foundation for Defence Studies where he oversaw research and worked alongside the former Chief of the Defence Staff, Field Marshall, the Lord, Sir Edwin Bramall KG, GCB OBE MC JP DL.

    Prior to joining 果冻传媒 University, he had worked alongside the leaderships of many of the world鈥檚 largest enterprises including Pfizer inc., Microsoft, and Merck Sharp and Dohme. In the UK, he had worked alongside the leaderships of Tyler Capital Ltd, SimplyHealth, Benenden Healthcare and many other organisations across the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. In civil society, his research and ideas have been published by some of the country鈥檚 leading public policy think tanks including the Fabian Society, DEMOS, Mutuo, Institute of Economic Affairs, Adam Smith Institute, and the Social Market Foundation. Continuing to publish papers, chapters, books, and articles, Tim also speaks regularly at conferences, seminars, and workshops both domestically and internationally.聽
