Press release – Taylor Fry announces Canberra chief for government practice
Taylor Fry is strengthening its commitment to public sector innovation with the appointment of actuary and analytics specialist Jeremy Smith-Roberts as principal and Canberra lead.
Jeremy’s appointment marks the launch of Taylor Fry’s new local presence in the nation’s capital, providing on-the-ground support to its government clientele.
With more than 10 years in government advisory, spanning strategic and operational analytics across welfare, health and disability, national security and Defence, Jeremy will spearhead client engagement in the region. His experience in workforce planning, including the gender pay gap and career pathways, will also assist in broadening Taylor Fry’s offering.
Taylor Fry principal and Sydney-based government lead Dr Hugh Miller says, “Government increasingly seeks to base policy on data and evidence, and our quantitative skillset means we’re well positioned to support this. Jeremy has an exceptional track record of adding that value to government so is a welcome addition to the team.”
Jeremy believes the complexity of government projects requires highly specialised expertise. He says, “It’s critical to have specialist senior staff driving projects, designing solutions and managing that complexity.
“I’m looking forward to continuing to lead applied analytics projects for government. Taylor Fry is known for exceptional commitment to quality data analytics products, services and advice. I’m excited to build on the team of incredibly capable actuaries by growing a Canberra-based presence. We’re focused on supporting the Commonwealth and ACT governments with pragmatic and robust evidence-based advice, and solutions that deliver results.”
Hugh says the new location will yield benefits for Taylor Fry and its government network. “Having a physical Canberra presence will be great for our clients and reflects our growing practice across domains like disability, education, employment and health.
“We also expect the move to Taylor Fry will provide new opportunities for interesting work for Jeremy and the team.”
