About Owen

Originally from London, I currently live in Berkeley, California, with my partner Grethe Petersen.

As you can probably tell from this website, my main hobbies are running, cycling, computing. I am the author of Running for Fitness, a book about running aimed at runners who want to run to keep fit, control their weight and fight stress. There is more information on my Running for Fitness website.

I am a member - from a distance - of the Serpentine Running Club.

My passion is international development. I am proud to work for the Center for Global Development. I am on sabbatical leave from the UK Government's Department for International Development, whose mission is to fight poverty around the world and to meet the Millennium Development Goals which the world community has agreed.

My work at CGD is part time, and I also do consulting work, as well as writing another book. If you might be interested in employing me, here is my CV.
