Prior to this he was at the Statistics Authority of Qatar, for two years where he was acting Director of the Economic Statistics Department in what is the world's fastest growing economy. This was a role that called for both technical and leadership skills of the highest calibre. Mr. Pullon was instrumental in development of several new statistical measures in Qatar including the quarterly GDP estimation system and the monthly consumer price index.
Mr. Pullon has represented the State of Qatar at international events, including the UN and has been a front person in communications between Qatar and organisations such as the IMF, UN as well as major banking organisations such as Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas and rating agencies such as Moody's and Standard & Poors.

He has also recently developed and delivered a postgraduate course in national accounting for statistics professionals in Montenegro. Prior to this, he worked on the USAID funded Economic Policy Reform Project in Almaty, Kazakhstan, strengthening capacity in SME statistics. As part of this role, Mr. Pullon was responsible for developing and implementing data collection tools, reviewing and developing a new survey and analytical processes compliant with international standards. Immediately before this, he worked as official statistics advisor on the USAID funded Economic/Fiscal Policy Reform project in Montenegro, where he completed implementing a new balance of payments system for Montenegro based on the latest international standards. He specifically worked on development of balance of payments statistics, developing surveys as well as reviewing the overall statistical system. Just prior to this role, he was engaged on a similar project in Iraq and worked closely with the authorities to create a new national accounting framework consistent with international standards. He was responsible for implementing an update of the national accounting system that had recently been identified by the United Nations and World Bank as being urgently required. He also provided consultancy services to develop the Qatari Statistics Office in line with the broader public sector development project in that country. Mr. Pullon has extensive project and personnel management delivered in a range of international contexts. He has over 19 years experience with surveys, statistics, macro-economic statistical frameworks and policy advice.
