Through programs that close the digital skills gap and products that offer help across everyday moments, Simon and his team enable access, growth, and opportunity.

They aim to help everyone—from individuals to industries—thrive.
APAC is a hotbed for innovation and one of the most dynamic regions in the world. Multiply its scale and diversity with technology’s pace of change and it is no wonder that the global center of gravity is shifting towards Asia. Today, APAC is moving from a “Catch Up” to a “Catch Us” state. The region now represents one of the most advanced digital economies globally. Outside of the 9-5, Simon enjoys discussing the region’s changing consumer landscape and speaks frequently about technological advancements that are blurring the lines between “offline” and “online” realms.
