Simon is working with UK universities and education providers to address the sector’s most urgent challenges. With higher education at an inflection point – facing   financial pressures, shifting student applications, and increasing scrutiny of its long-term value – Simon helps institutions turn these challenges into opportunities for transformation.

He partners with clients to strengthen financial resilience, improve student outcomes, reduce attrition, and deliver digital programmes that modernise the student and institutional experience. He also works with policymakers and industry leaders to explore funding and operational models that support sustainable growth.

Drawing on CGI’s global expertise and his deep understanding of the UK education landscape, Simon focuses on delivering practical, future-ready solutions that help universities adapt with confidence and continue to deliver long-lasting value to students, institutions, and society.
