Simon Jacot de Boinod
Simon is the founder of Forum, a global network of principals and experts, all personally invited to join by members of its Advisory Board. There are membership chapters in London, New York, West Coast, Singapore, Zurich, Vienna and Tel Aviv, with additional members residing in 20 further cities worldwide. The membership is deliberately eclectic in its mix – a peer group [male & female] drawn from the senior échelons of the business community and family offices with journalists, economists, politicians, public speakers, academics, designers, writers and those working in the arts also included within
the number.
