Simon joined Positive Thinking over 16 years ago and has been the driving force in establishing and growing our diverse database resource including the development of our proprietary Harvest CRM solution.Hailing from a traditional agency account handlers’ background, Simon consequently made the move into data and has developed these joint skills over the last 23 years to bring a unique appreciation of the challenges facing both today’s marketer and ‘the IT dept’. This extensive understanding of data, from the challenges it provides to the opportunities it presents, has been developed with clients including Orange, American Airlines, Thistle Hotels, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Currys and various Virgin Group companies.

When not deep in data, Simon will probably be out deep at sea cultivating his newfound love of all things aquatic.
