Pauline

Before joining Homerton as a college lecturer in Economics in 2013, Pauline Goyal-Rutsaert worked in the private and public sectors as well as in academia. She started her career in the Netherlands where she was a consultant at The Netherlands Economic Institute (Rotterdam, NL) after having been a post-graduate researcher at the Tinbergen Institute (Erasmus Universiteit, NL). After moving to the UK she joined Oftel (London, UK) as a Senior Economic Advisor in the Compliance Group and transferred to Ofcom (London, UK) where she was part of the Economist Team of the Competition Policy Group. There she acquired experience of how best pro-active competition and regulation policies are developed and enforced in the UK communications sector. She has also been, though briefly, a Research Leading Consultant at RAND Europe (Cambridge, UK) in the Innovation and Technology Policy Team.

Outside of her work Pauline enjoys reading, cooking, walking and MogaDao yoga.
