Who you’ll work with

The people behind the work

No account managers, and no handing your project to someone you have never met. Five people, each responsible for one part of what AT Acumen does — research design, statistics, machine learning, and the business side that keeps it running.

Aizaz Torwali

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

PhD Scholar in Management, MPhil in Economics · INTI International University, Malaysia

Aizaz Torwali has spent eight years doing the work he now oversees: designing studies, running the analysis, and writing them up to a standard that survives review. A PhD Scholar in Management and an MPhil economist, he has lectured at the University of Peshawar, led fieldwork across two provinces, and worked as an economist on an ADB-funded cities improvement programme. Five of his papers are published. He founded AT Acumen so that researchers and organisations could reach that standard without needing a university department behind them.
