Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Pickup is a senior technology leader and entrepreneur with nine years of formal experience in senior engineering and management roles and a much longer technical career spanning market-access, algorithmic trading and embedded systems. He currently leads engineering teams at Macquarie Group while running his own company, Pickup Infinity Limited, and serves as a non‑executive director—demonstrating a blend of hands‑on development, strategy and board‑level governance. His background includes delivering low‑latency trading systems at Barclays and market access platforms at Fidessa, backed by earlier roles in systems and operations across Redflex and Adacel. Skilled in team building, operations management and business development, he moves comfortably between startup agility and large‑institution rigor. Based in Stony Stratford, UK, he pairs dual degrees in engineering and science from the University of Melbourne with practical international delivery experience. An understated strength is his ability to translate complex technical constraints into commercially viable strategies across both product and corporate levels.
