Simon started his insurance career with CT Bowring in London as an International Liability Broker in the Lloyd’s market in 1990. In 1995 Simon moved on to the underwriting side of the insurance business as a Liability Underwriter for various entities in the London and Lloyd’s market, including Eagle Star Re, Lloyd’s Syndicates at Amlin and Denham, and XL Insurance, specialising in underwriting liability programs in various territories including South Africa, Canada, Australia and Israel.

XL Insurance led Simon to Australia where he worked for 3 years as Liability Manager in the new XL operation. In 2005 he started Miramar Underwriting Agency, which in 2013 sold into the Steadfast IPO. Simon is still CEO of Miramar Underwriting Agency.

In December 2016 Simon was elected to the Board of Directors for the Underwriting Agencies Council.
