About Simon

I bring more than seven years of professional experience, including four years in management consulting, which has provided me with a well-rounded set of quantitative and qualitative analytical capabilities.


At Efficio, I developed commercial procurement strategies for multinational corporates and the public sector, including central government, covering annual spend of up to £500m. This involved fusing commercial, financial and operational objectives across complex environments to build robust
business cases demonstrating a clear return on investment in order to secure buy-in from board-level stakeholders.


Prior to this, my work in commercial due diligence at Armstrong involved producing strategic reports for private equity houses on acquisitions and bolt-on deals. This strengthened my capacity to deliver at pace and to synthesise nuanced findings into insightful recommendations for investors and
management teams. It also equipped me with the ability to swiftly become well-versed in new markets and articulate the growth opportunities to clients.


Finally, I bring line-management experience and enjoy working in a team environment.
