From Compliance to Personalisation: Advancing Banking & Financial Services Experience

Simon is a highly experienced and well-regarded corporate host, moderator, commentator, business editor and narrowcaster. Having been in Singapore nearly 24 years, Simon has hosted hundreds of business events and travelled widely to present addresses, chair industry panels and produce events. Simon has a long history in business editing, covering myriad industry sectors including banking and finance, human resources, healthcare, luxury, retail, power and energy and ESG. He has held roles Group Editor, Managing Editor and General Manager for several business publishers (including now leading client The Charlton Media Group) before establishing his own communications practice Simon Hyett Media (formerly BOTR Communications) well over a decade ago.

Simon is a qualified lawyer, professional musician, entrepreneur and father to two fantastic teenage sons. He has been described as having an unhealthy relationship with world flags, geography and in particular, nation shapes. He is passionate about fairness, justice, corporate accountability, and humanity in business. Simon has sat on the Board of the Media and Publishers’ Association of Singapore, was the longest serving President of his sons’ international school community group and is a boardmember of the Australian Chamber of Commerce SME Committee. Simon is an eternal survivor, loves life, loves people’s stories both personal and in business and conducts all his hosting and moderating in a warm, human, energetic and infectiously positive manner.
