“I worked with Simon at Quadrangle, a small qualitative management consultancy that he co-founded. I quickly realised that he was one of the most talented and thoughtful people I had ever come across - and one of the best management thinkers. In the two years I worked with him, I learned an awful lot, not only about insight and philosophies but also about managing people and clients. He is endlessly curious about the world and humble about his place in it yet holds strong opinions that people want to hear”

“I have been working with Simon for the past 3 years as an informal mentor/ coach. I have found our conversations to be incredibly useful - Simon listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions and creates an entirely safe, non-judgmental environment for me to explore my own questions and find my own answers. He is perceptive, wise and kind - generous with his time and sharing his experience”

“Simon is a remarkable individual. I've worked with him for 20 years and have been privileged to experience how his combination of creativity, strategic vision and people skills makes things happen. Ultimately, Simon is a catalyst because he can get people excited about what is possible, cut through the noise, and engage with the most senior stakeholders as much as frontline staff. That's a powerful mix, and I've never met anyone with the same ability to say the unsayable and negotiate difficult situations whilst keeping people onside.”
