Simon Black is a Director of Technical Marketing with nine years of focused experience translating low-code R&D into sales-ready value propositions and driving B2B software growth. He has built and led global evangelism and enablement teams, launched major platform releases (including Mendix 10 and 11), and created standardized demo platforms and vertical narratives that accelerate deal closure. Comfortable in the technical trenches, Simon started as a hands-on technical consultant and sales engineer, delivering POCs and securing major enterprise deals, and later scaled those skills into strategic cross-functional leadership. He’s adept at aligning product, sales, and marketing—often spotting growth in adjacent sectors like Manufacturing before others—and has a pragmatic, wry perspective on uncertainty that keeps his teams curious and adaptable.
