The digital strategist is particularly well-recognised for his work on eGovernment, cyber-risk, and online espionage; serving as Programme Director and Chair of the annual international eCrime Congress, Simon works towards a safer Internet for everyone by building public awareness and bringing together key players in the high tech security world.

The former Chief Executive and Chairman of The Research Group has chaired and keynoted at numerous forums and conferences across the globe including: Visa’s annual Payment Card Industry (PCI/DSS) Europe; the Emirates Forum in Dubai; and the Middle-east e-Government conference; the Irish Software Industry’s annual conference in Dublin; IDG Europe’s security conference in Milan; and the Ministry of Justice’s conference in London.

Foreseeing a burning need for business models to keep up as technology, platforms, and data evolve at smoke-producing speed, Simon makes audiences question whether this is the end of the market and society as we know it.
