How Simon is building a better working world
“Earlier in my career, I was part of the 'fly in, fly out' breed of management consultants, and it was only later I realized how much I was missing out on – both for myself and my clients.
This became even more apparent to me, during my time in South Africa for four years, when I co-founded a fintech innovation business. I love South Africa and working there gave me real insight into the challenges that people face, working within an unequal society.
I grew to understand the importance and impact of legacy (seeing the impact on families) and striving to make a difference. It became a real lesson to me in how it’s possible to combine empathy and intuition, while still driving revenue and meaningful growth. This experience has impacted my approach when working with the businesses we transform – understanding the full picture is key to our success.”
