I’m Henry Gilks, originally from the UK and now based in Amsterdam. I enjoy hiking, running, travelling to remote places, and discovering great food and wine. Alongside these interests, I focus on building data-led products and analytical tools, both through my professional work and personal projects.
Over the past decade, my work has centred on sustainability and system change, delivering data-driven solutions for a broad range of corporate and public-sector organisations. I’m particularly interested in translating complex data and systems into practical, well-designed tools that support evidence-based decision-making and real-world impact.
