Bio
Jacob Kandathil
Proactive and sincere are 2 words that come to mind when I think about Simon. I had the pleasure of working with him for a year , collaborating on several projects. Across all projects I admired how he balanced business needs and customer needs always looking for a win-win outcome. Even though Simon and I worked in different cities, he was very accessible and it always felt like we were working from the same location, which strongly helped our collaboration. I look forward to working with Simon again and he would be an asset to any team.
