Odo Hirsch

Odo Hirsch (born 1962) is the pen name of David Kausman,[1] an Australian author of children's books. He was born in Melbourne, where he trained to be a doctor, but moved to London, where he currently lives.

After working as a doctor in both Melbourne and London, he joined Amnesty International, where he reported on torture victims and examined hospital conditions in Eastern Europe. After doing a master's degree in political thought at Cambridge University, he joined McKinsey & Company in 1997.
