Simon adopts a holistic approach to his work, appreciating both the broader perspective and finer details. His portfolio includes facilitating new technology joint ventures, commercialising technology, media, and data, managing technology and media business acquisitions, and overseeing telecommunications transactions. Being a founding partner of Hudson Gavin Martin, has given Simon a unique perspective that connects with many founder clients. Setting up and running his own business means that he has in-depth understanding of the obstacles business owners and CEO’s face. He understands only too well the need to transform challenges into opportunities.
