A seasoned journalist and former investment banker, Simon has a unique ability to connect the dots between global financial trends and real-world impact.
Known for his approachable style and sharp insight, Simon has fronted business coverage across the BBC, from the One O’Clock, Six O’Clock and Ten O’Clock News to BBC Breakfast, where he became a trusted face during the 2008 financial crisis.
