THE NOBLE NEW - Key Persons
"Simon and I have worked closely together for well over 6 years and his insight and ability to understand complex technology and simplify its message is uncanny. We compliment each other very well and our business relationship has grown and thrived like no other in my 20+ years. Simon has the ability to multi-task his business career, educational endeavors and just about anything else is like nothing I have ever experienced before and that is a credit to his dedication to succeed. I am a better business professional because of the partnership we have nurtured over the years and I look forward to continuing it as we move ahead. He is a scholar and a true business pro and I am honored to know and work with him."
"Simon and business partner Peter are like the Blackwater of security software sales. Special Operations like Blackwater are about small but well-trained and coordinated teams punching way above their weight."
"Simon is one of the most professional consultants our department has ever worked with, and his communication skills are among the best of anyone I have personally ever collaborated on a project with. These things made him a very easy and effective person to collaborate with as a development consultant. Email responses came quickly, even when he was on the road. New iterations of our product have been frequent. In fact, our company was consistently the bottleneck in our project; I don't remember ever being impatient for Simon to come through with something. Thanks to this and his friendly, professional attitude, he'd be great to work with again, if and when we have the opportunity."
