I have worked with Simon on more than ten M&A transactions, and on financial operational matters during the 6 years we both worked together at Enghouse. I was always impressed with Simon's insights when evaluating a company, even for complex telecom products, his evaluation of strengths and weaknesses always proved correct. I recall multiple instances where Simon would attend due diligence presentations during work hours, and develop the financial modelling in the evening, all with great accuracy. Supported by high energy and a strong work ethic, Simon's decision making is invaluable for determining investment business cases. A great judge of character, Simon is able to conduct high stakes negotiations with optimal results and integrity. I warmly recommend Simon for any organization requiring a capable, energetic finance executive with an astute business sense.
