Hello, I'm Simon. Since 2003 I've had various roles in testing, tech leadership and coaching. I believe in the power of collaboration, creativity and community. 🎓 MoT-STEC qualified. I get real joy working with and supporting our wonderful MoTaverse community.

He's so grounded in his way of thinking and articulates his thoughts so well and his feelings and his knowledge about community and everything.”
