Antonio specialises in using data science and new technologies to design effective public services, with a specific focus on education, administrative and health and care systems.

His career has been spent working to improve public services: he is an elected local government councillor; was governor of a Further Education college for ten years; and has a research role at the University of Cambridge’s Bennett Institute, investigating the use of digital technologies across the world.

Antonio believes that the strength, resilience and performance of public services are key to successful, diverse and high-functioning societies. He is also the senior leadership representative driving forward The PSC’s ambitious Diversity and Inclusion goals.
