Simon has always received positive feedback from some credible senior stakeholders in the Finance market; he always comes across as proficient, speaking concisely about how he commercially impacts a business, demonstrating good leadership with those who report into him, influencing senior leadership teams and using relevant experience examples to clearly gets across how he successfully partners wider operations, away from Finance.

The main reasons I enjoy working with Simon, are his honest approach, assertiveness (as required) and his willingness to challenge me and my thinking to ensure the best outcome.
