Bio
Geetanjali Tuli
Simon has been a good colleague & friend. He maintains a high degree of ownership with respect to whatever he does. He has always been there to help and encourage my progress, and also makes a huge contribution to a productive and fun workplace. He is always constructive, friendly and helpful; handling difficult situations gracefully and always treating others with kindness and respect. He is a really effective connector as well great at problem solving. Having worked in the same team and worked particularly closely with Simon’s customers, I can tell that he put the customer at the heart of what his did whilst an account manager. He has been a great mentor in my first role within the acquiring payments arena. I have to say that not only did I learn a lot from Simon, but enjoyed his company and was able to achieve good numbers under his mentorship. Simon is a credit to any team and has a wealth of experience in the payments sector and in general. It has been a great pleasure to have worked with Simon, and I hope to work with him again in the future.
