Simon has almost 20 years' experience in risk management and risk analysis, in a wide variety of industries and major projects. Prior to joining Project Excellence, he spent two years as UK Risk Analyst for ConocoPhillips, before which he was Senior Risk Management Consultant and trainer for Pertmaster, Primavera and Oracle.
Simon is recognised as one of the leading practitioners of integrated project schedule and cost risk management and analysis, and strives for clarity and pragmatism in his work. He uses methods that allow project risk models to be interrogated and understood by project teams and senior management, which helps ensure that risk assessments are reasonable representations of reality, and that they add value by setting and justifying reasonable expectation and positive management action.
An Oxford University Graduate (in Mathematics and Computation), Simon has also designed and developed commercial risk software (Predict!, Arrisca, and a contributing architect to Primavera Risk Analysis / Pertmaster), and continues to develop tools for more practical valuable project and business risk management.
Simon is principal consultant in our risk management service.
