Simon Thomas’s Expertise I create, run, and grow business’ that convert technology into business value helping clients solve their most complex enterprise business problems utilizing my experience and expertise in AI, Data, Analytics, IoT, Automation, ERP, CRM, Cloud, Application Development, Business Leadership and Management. Despite applying all this over 30+ years of experience with clients across industries, and operating in multiple geographies, I am always learning and growing, and eager to take on the next challenge. Most recently, I created the strategy, then launched and currently run the Data & AI business for Avanade, covering Data, Analytics, AI, Automation and IOT. I created an end-to-end Data & AI business with an ambitious target of achieving 1B in 5 years. Recruiting and building the entire Global Leadership Team, a Global Center of Excellence, Operating Model, integrating 3 strategic acquisitions, and nurturing a strong global network, created a resilient and diverse global business that has the potential to continue to grow dramatically well into the future. Prior to Avanade, I have 27 years at IBM and PricewaterhouseCoopers, creating new consulting/SI business’ around custom development, Expert Systems, B2B, eCommerce, CRM, ERP, Business Analytics, Data Strategy, Automation, IOT, Artificial Intelligence (IBM Watson) and much more. With IBM, my adventures have taken me from the United States, to India, and then Singapore, in Global/Geographic roles for 17 of the 27 years. An engineer and musician at the core, I was drawn to computing by the excitement of directing and controlling machines to help solve problems that allow people to do what they do, easier, faster, and better. My passion is in bringing people together and creating diverse teams that are much greater than the sum of the individuals. I build and nurture teams that have fun, work hard, and spend every day finding more interesting and innovative ways to solve the most complex business problems our clients trust us to solve for them. I am also proud to have been able to do all the above while driving strong commercial success and sustained growth.
