Bio
Mark Felix
Without question, Simon is the best CFO I've ever worked with. He and I worked together as CEO/CFO for 5 1/2 years at rogenSi managing, growing and ultimately selling our business. He was a true partner who demonstrated initiative, creativity, insight, commercial savvy, and diligence in executing the CFO role - all blended with a wry sense of humor. He gets things done, builds loyal teams, powers through obstacles, and can operate independently while embracing collaboration. I can't speak highly enough of Simon's professional and personal qualities.
