Simon is a former banker, having working in the Capital Markets side of the business for over 30 years. His experience was concentrated in three main areas: Trading- so he could understand risk; Sales and Solutions- understanding of clients needs; and Strategy – the ability to articulate a vision, while showing the risk/reward of a recommended investment.

It is very easy to get caught up in the drama of the banking world, so the need to remain grounded in your pursuit of self realisation, means and needs a strong will not to be consumed by it.
