Simon Parke

After a number of successful and enjoyable years in a large multinational, I became keen to work in a smaller business environment. Working with a broad range of high technology and green tech companies actively assisting them to develop and deliver their ideas and realise the value provides me great personal satisfaction and constant interest and challenge.

The variety of business cultures, technology demands and innovation requirements and the challenges of finding routes to market provide me the opportunity to provide strategic insight and the opportunity to provide both technical and commercial knowledge.

Before my career commenced I gained a First Class Degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Loughborough University, followed by 14 years of research/project/programme/technical service and customer interface management roles at Rolls-Royce (Aerospace), including 3 years managing the technical relationship between Rolls-Royce, International Aero Engines, Airbus and EADs. MBA with Distinction.

Outside of TBAT, my three children keep me constantly entertained, along with coaching the u13 junior rugby team at my local club.
