About Simon

A true "outside in" business strategist who can review a company and swiftly define when and where technology, strategic change and people can all be leveraged to drive up growth, revenue, and competitive advantage. With a keen eye for helping a business define new disruptive ideas whilst always safeguarding the existing revenue and clients.

Swiftly and effectively able to look at the purpose of a business and not define new strategies for growth by leveraging technology but all whilst taking clients, staff, and key stakeholders on the journey. A serial innovator who sees change not as a project but woven into the DNA of any business looking for growth, as a continued evolution.

A true visionary in being able to see future roadblocks to a business’s growth or exist plans and swiftly providing key advice and guidance on avoiding such challenges, all whilst keeping the business and its primary goals all on track.

With a sector agnostic mindset and a gravitas of experience that crosses international and business size divides can create a collaborative leadership approach to generate team excellence, delivering the best from individuals for both personal and corporate benefit.

Now looking to leverage 30+ years’ experience delivering value through extensive knowledge gained from senior positions in multi-nationals and start-ups across Europe and the USA and making such a skills and knowledge set available to a board as a Non-Executive director.

Super talented business solutions consultant. I have worked with Simon on several business programmes over the past 17 years. He is a true professional, always considering every angle of a business problem and potential solutions, all supported by expert knowledge covering a broad spectrum of technologies. At board level, Simon is again always professional, considering risks and governance at every turn. I have no reservations in recommending Simon.
