Simon has led cross-functional teams and multiple product lines, and his background in release engineering and stream processing gives him a pragmatic systems view when turning research findings into mitigations. Notably, he spent a technical placement in the USA working on software security early in his career, reflecting a long-standing international perspective on threat research.
