I worked with Simon Rabbitt for approximately 2 years and we worked particularly closely over the final 12 months of his tenure at Rugby Australia. Throughout that time, Simon was a highly motivated and professional individual. He showed real strength of character and commitment at a time of real challenge in the role. I have no doubt that Simon will be a huge asset to any future organisation he joins. Robert Brophy CFO World Rugby

QRU developed a strong working relationship with Simon at his time at Rugby AU. His ability to understand the strategic priorities and financial requirements in a short period of time was well received. He provided the QRU a strong line of communication and support to the National body and was always willing to provide ways to enable QRU to achieve its aspirations. I personally enjoyed the working relationship which I found was built on a foundation of trust and respect. Simon was always open and transparent on what he believed the opportunities and challenges were and delivered on what he said he was going to do.
