Find out more about our Chief Executive Officer and leadership team.
Simon was appointed as HMGCC CEO in 2026.
He first joined HMGCC in 2023, taking on the important role of leading the organisation’s product and engineering teams.
During that time, he has positively transformed the way in which HMGCC delivers its engineering - creating vital tech to be used in national security work across the globe.
Simon has a strong background in academia and industry. After starting out as an engineering lecturer, his career took him across telecoms, energy and automotive industries and then to Amazon before joining HMGCC’s leadership team.
Followers of our social media will notice that Simon is a familiar public face, but other staff at HMGCC are not.
Due to our close work with national security, Simon is currently the only person permitted to appear as an HMGCC employee in photographs, videos, and using his full name.


The talented staff within HMGCC’s leadership hail from multiple disciplines and have each carved out their careers as expert technologists and people leaders, building on a wealth of past experience in both government and commercial organisations.
Reporting to our CEO, HMGCC has deputy directors who are responsible for each of our main work areas, overseeing the work of our senior leadership team.
