When he’s not working, Jon cooks overelaborate food, plays chess and tortures himself watching Sheffield Wednesday.

Evie Porter

After spending time building a career in PR and marketing, Evie has been working with the Perspectus Global team for the last few years. Drawing upon the knowledge secured during her Sociology degree at the University of Exeter, where she got to grips with undertaking effective research methods, Evie enjoys exploring statistics and using them to identify wider trends.

She particularly likes crafting questions to help secure the most interesting stats and using the results to create strong, robust reports for clients.

In her spare time, Evie enjoys yoga, spending time with her little boy and trying (and failing) to secure Taylor Swift tickets.
