Colin
Colin Greenstreet is co-founder and co-director of the project. Decidedly not an academic, he studied human sciences, philosophy, politics and economics at the University of Oxford, and was the recipient of a Kennedy Scholarship to study at Harvard Business School. His career has been spent in finance, consulting, pharmaceutical R&D, and as an entrepreneur, most recently in Mumbai and London. Somehow he never got round to studying history. He lives in Muswell Hill, North London.
