'Simon has a diverse, well-vetted network and he is adept at putting the right people in touch for mutual success.
He is extremely approachable, personable and highly professional.
When I relocated my business to Dublin in 2009 he opened doors for me in both the UK and Ireland, and I am working with him once again while I’m back in NYC.'

'Having worked closely with Simon on a number of research projects during the early days at Integrity Capital Ltd, I admired Simon for his industry expertise, tenacity and his professional approach to work.
To me he was personable, inspiring and a great mentor.
He encouraged me to think outside the box, opened up my eyes to opportunities and made me believe that everything is possible.
Without him, I would never be close to where I am now and I look forward to an opportunity to work with him again in the future.'
