Simon Green
Builder CIO. I bring AI out of the lab and into operations.
SVP Workflow Engineering at Pax8. Founder at 1310. Technology leader with Linux and networking roots.
Pax8, global product pods
Rebuilt internal IT from a single region service to a worldwide, pod based, product oriented organisation. Focus on adoption, measurable outcomes, and speed.
1310, profitable and self funded
Built an ISP organically to self sustaining profitability. Engineering discipline, sensible capital, steady execution.
Automation and AI that ships
Operational AI and automation that reduces toil and improves service quality. Focus on routing, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
What I'm focused on now
I'm focused on turning AI and automation from impressive demonstrations into dependable operational capability.
That means building systems that safely change how work happens: platforms, patterns, governance, measurement, and adoption. I'm especially interested in the space between human judgement, business process, and software engineering.
Writing
