About Simon

I help companies become truly data-driven by building trustworthy analytics and experimentation environments that scale. With 17 years in A/B testing, conversion optimization, and enterprise web analytics/marketing, I design and implement end-to-end experimentation programs - from tracking and KPI frameworks to tooling, governance, and enablement - so teams can make faster, decision-ready calls and run more high-quality tests with confidence.

Typical projects include experimentation audits & roadmaps, A/B tooling setup and operating model, GA4 + BigQuery foundations, server-side tracking (incl. consent/privacy), metric and guardrail design, experimentation QA/review processes, and training/coaching that makes teams self-sufficient.
