Highly recommended.
let me share a small chemistry we got with Simon. beside the things he did in IT through out his career. but he has all the quality to be a leader. He guided me in the first three years of my primary school he use to pick me up and cross the roads together on our way to school. just trying to show his dedication. funny enough during my young age  I was not allowed to go to play grounds; but whenever Simon was there I would get the permission  lol. Its a true story.He got it all, may you vote for him he is truly capable .
