About

Simon is a purpose driven humanitarian, social impact entrepreneur, keynote speaker, serial innovator and author

Driven by passion, dedication and empathy, Simon combines his unique skillset to improve the lives of millions of people living in energy poverty, and other extreme circumstances, across the globe, whilst inspiring others to do the same.

Simon’s understanding of the intersectional and systemic injustices that drive poverty and its myriad effects has enabled him to purposely build both charity and social impact business models that are designed to address the cause of global issues. Simon has worked with organisations all over the world to re-define their purpose, integrating actionable and measurable programs at their core.

Simon’s natural leadership style has led him to become a mentor for more than twenty Australians, from young professionals to established senior businesspeople. He has presented his keynote addresses to over 100,000+ people globally.

A father of three himself, Simon is determined to ensure that all children have access to a safe, fulfilling education that will enable them to determine their own bright futures.

  • “Simon's story is a unique one, his 'why' is crystal clear. Why he was inspired to do what he does, his motivation, perseverance & determination to achieve his all in life shines through his presentations whether speaking about his personal journey or his mission to eradicate energy poverty for millions of children around the world. Audiences are left inspired to take action whether it’s personally, professionally or as a Global Citizen.”

    Natalie Simmons, Global General Manager

  • “We were so impressed with his presentation that we immediately undertook a partnership with Simon and SolarBuddy to further assist where we could, and now have an active partnership with his charity. It's not a surprise that he received a standing ovation at our conference!”

    W. Lindsay White, Vice President - Etihad Airways
