Simon is an experienced startup/SME Finance Director, with a focus on tech-related businesses. Having trained as a Chartered Accountant in the public sector, he quickly realised that the private sector would be faster paced and more fun, and has worked across telecoms, cloud computing, mobile gaming, big data, augmented reality / virtual reality. He loves the challenge of understanding how a business ticks, and translating that understanding into a robust financial model. Simon enjoys working with business on a project basis: taking them through a funding round or exit; implementing new systems; or otherwise driving substantial positive change. Simon is married with two kids.
