After working in data content creation in the finance sector, his passion for solutions and customer needs led him into integration support and operations. For the last few decades Simon has worked with some of the leading enterprise data solutions providers – building and leading teams, functions and divisions – always driving up client expectations for what a data management solution should provide, but just as importantly – delivering on them.
