Colleagues describe him as "I have known Simon for close to 3 years now in my capacity as his manager during my time at Lubrizol as a Director – OEM Group. During Simon’s time in our group, he proved himself to be an extremely valuable asset not only as an individual contributor but also as a team member. Of the many things that struck me about Simon, his knowledge on topics relating to sustainability, the lubricant industry (additive and oil company), plus technical understanding stands out. Keeping pace with the rapid changes within our industry can be extremely challenging, however this was something that Simon achieved consistently and to a high level; going beyond just the higher level of understanding and digging deeper into the why’s, how’s and potential opportunity for engagements. His fluency in French and ability to bring customer and OEM needs to the table are second to none. Simon is a fast learner, he is always willing to take on new tasks and explore them with vigour, tenacity and a desire to complete them. Throughout our time working together Simon exhibited all the qualities required for managing complex customer and OEM relationships with a great balance of cultural sensitivities, along with technical and commercial acumen. I was impressed by his ability to engage with people from different levels within organisations, presenting in forums that included Vice-Presidents with compelling information that led to additional engagements and ultimately higher return in revenue. Simon works intelligently on the topics that are important to mutual success, not only regionally but also globally, to project, product, technology and sales deployment teams. The ability to do this in my experience is rare, and as a result Simon proved himself to be an extremely valuable asset to our team and other areas within our business. As such Simon will be a real asset to any company - he has a lot of transferrable skills that are right for any business that wants to hunt for new opportunities, strengthen their relationships with their customers and build lasting business with a high value.

He has a critical and analytical mind, analyses very well the pros and cons of each project and delivers as projected. But more important he was a good team player in our multicultural and international team and contributed actively to the team spirit. When decisions are taken, even not in line with Simon's view, he respects and executes loyally the decisions but will never forget to check feasibility with the initial targets and do a good follow up of the progress. When I proposed new targets, or new projects, Simon always challenged me (and the team) with critical but objective and constructive remarks, he made me think twice and sometimes review my position. I really appreciated working with Simon."
