Simon has had 28 years in business – after 13 years in the British Army, of which the final 3 were working as an assistant to the Adjutant General in the MOD. Over 10 years ago he decided to breakaway from Russell Reynolds, the global executive search firm – and start his own business. The philosophy behind Per Ardua Associates was to build a small group of highly dedicated and focussed specialists in the Financial Services sector. From the start the firm has been built on the basis of a culture of “honesty with clients” – turning business down when necessary – and collegiate, unselfish behaviour. The company has grown and now has practices in: Asset Management; Insurance: Real Estate; Banking and Consumer Financial Services, Fintech; HR and Diversity; Financial Officers and Board. In 2018 we have extended our coverage to include assessment and coaching – with the birth of Pantheon Leadership, our new business. Charity Support: Samaritans and Caring for Courage.
Listed skills include Executive Search, Recruiting, and Financial Services.
