Simon has been a Senior Strategic Adviser to Talent Beyond Boundaries since 2023, and I am delighted to recommend him for any role that requires deep expertise in global mobility, serious strategic and leadership smarts, highly honed sales and negotiation skills, and forward-leaning digital and AI capabilities.

With TBB, he has led sales and negotiations workshops with our teams which have had transformed how TBB approaches employer engagement, led strategic analysis into TBB's employer engagement, and provided strategic and executive mentorship to me and others in TBB. He thinks big, acts fast and brings creativity and energy to each interaction.

I had the pleasure of negotiating with, and learning from, Simon. He demonstrates a keen (and frankly rare) ability to assimilate complex circumstances quickly, adapt his strategy on the fly to suit the situation, and take control of difficult negotiations. With his naturally competitive drive, this makes him a force to be considered in any sales leadership role. 

Simon is the magical mix of hands-on, deep business knowledge, strategic thinking, inspirational leadership, and futuristic vision. He combines long-term vision & short-term goals in a unique way that leads organisations & teams to super-success. Simon is a charismatic leader with the highest working ethics. Simon constantly inspires & empowers his team and is always available to provide them with guidance, support, and direction. His fantastic communication skills, which cut through the clutter, are also remarkable. His clear & simple thought processes in the most uncertain & complex environments & situations are also widely admired. 

I have worked with Simon for several years. First and foremost, in that time he has delivered results above and beyond expectations. Through determination, an unflagging positive perspective and limitless creativity, he is the type of person who anyone would be lucky to have as a member of his/her team or a leader of a team or a company. I am delighted to get to support and benefit from his success. He will eventually do a TED Talk someday, no doubt about it!

Throughout my 20-year career, I have had the opportunity to observe numerous senior-level leaders in action. Among them, Simon stands out as a near-perfect embodiment of effective leadership. The way he seamlessly combines empathy, empowerment, coaching, advocacy, and gratitude with a strong set of fundamental, non-negotiable values, to inspire and rally his team, should be a role model for all aspiring leaders. By extending unqualified trust and support, Simon enables his team to achieve goals far beyond their own expectations. What truly distinguishes Simon from other leaders is his ability to communicate candidly without causing any offense across all levels in the organization, especially when reiterating his firm stand on values. 

Simon is an enthusiastic, insightful mobility leader with a keen sense of the future of our industry, and the agility to navigate fluidly in this business environment. He's well-connected and conversant on global and mobile issues - particularly regarding APAC and EMEA - and is a talented change agent, collaborator and colleague. To spend an hour with Simon is getting an MBA in 60 minutes, bring both of your ears and be prepared to learn!
