Founder
SIMON M PRATT

I have been deeply involved with the development of some of the world’s most renowned university rankings. I even wrote the guidebook still in use today.
I spent over 10 years in a senior research strategy role at one of the world’s most prestigious universities.
I was responsible for the university being ranked #1 in the world for sustainability. It has also maintained a top 25 ranking across all major global rankings.
I used analytics tools to help the university succeed. It was awarded the largest grant in Canada’s history ($200 million). I contributed to Canada’s Fundamental Science Review. I wrote the university’s first SDG report.
I serve on the QS and THE Impact Rankings advisory boards.
These experiences allow me to offer a 360 degree perspective that can help you achieve your goals.
