Simon is unique in that he can go from business strategy and requirements all the way down to architecture and understanding code. He has worked in pretty much every position in IT so understands the industry as well as anyone. He has advised C-suite, but is equally comfortable mentoring graduates. Simon is a visionary, with an integrity to do the right thing. Simon urged me to share my knowledge to the public and coined the term Contemporary Lean, which lead to the founding of CLean method to help the industry to increase productivity.

Simon Chan is one of the best #socialmediabuddies you can have. The guy pushes great content all over the internet.

Rick Keenan – Product Owner, Resilient plc

I’ve never seen someone make such a large impact in such a short amount of time! Simon took on a small team of BA and quickly implemented new ways of working for them that fit in with existing processes. He also separately took on a lot of additional responsibility to see the company through a period of change. Really friendly guy to have around, and clearly very experienced in what he does.

Simon would be a great asset to any organisation, and I recommend him unreservedly.

Claudia S. Rodriguez, Principal Business Analyst, Nationwide Building Society

I had the pleasure to work with Simon during a very interesting challenge we undertook 2014-2015. Simon’s attention to detail and drive to do the right things were very important for the BA team and the wider Professional Services team. His dynamism when having to face technical or process-oriented aspects of the project, whether Waterfall or Agile or even thinking about DevOps made him key to the success of our deliverables and reputation. Simon is trustworthy and his decision to excel regardless of the challenges of the environment make him a very strong BA and creates a halo of trust within the Business Areas he gets involved with. On the personal side, he will always keep his cool under pressure and his points of view are very balanced. Simon is an ideal candidate and I look forward to the chance of working together again

I worked with Simon in a very demanding and challenging IT project portfolio operation within Regus.

Simon’s dedication, commitment and hard work made everything possible. A great team player and good person too. Highly recommended.
