The list recognises 25 dealmakers who have made their mark in a challenging period for the buyout industry and pressed ahead with major deals across Europe, helping to raise new funds, make acquisitions and bolster their portfolio companies.
Simon has also been named in Real Deals' Future 40 list of Mid-Market Investment Leaders, in association with Finatal. This list also recognises dealmakers who have delivered successful results over the past 12 months, notwithstanding the challenging environment.
Simon was selected for both lists following his work on the investment in Lendscape, the acquisition of TaxModel for Tax Systems, the realisation of ASK4, and his contribution to the fundraising of Bowmark’s seventh flagship fund, which closed on £900 million of commitments in January.
