Background

About Simon Elliott

I’m the CEO and part of the founding leadership team of Breadcrumb, a venture-backed construction technology company building the AI-powered compliance and productivity layer for the modern worksite.Construction is a $13T global industry, yet remains structurally under-digitised. General Contractors carry enormous safety and financial exposure while lacking real-time workforce visibility. At Breadcrumb, we connect General Contractors, Subcontractors and Workers into a single trusted digital platform -embedding safety, compliance and productivity directly into daily field workflows.Today we operate across the US, UK and Australia, powering over 1 million workers globally and scaling rapidly in North America.Before Breadcrumb, my career was built on creating growth from zero:Led Orion Health’s European expansion on a commission-only basis, building the business to multi-million Euro revenue and establishing teams across multiple markets- Co-led the sale of Emerging Health to Telstra Health- Operated as start-up CFO and board member at Matrak, leading the company through its Series A- Active angel investor, backing and advising early-stage founders across multiple sectorsHaving sat on both sides of the capital table, raising venture funding, investing personally, and leading M&A, I bring a balanced perspective to scaling businesses in regulated, complex industries.I’m particularly interested in the intersection of- Construction tech- AI applied to real-world workflows- Enterprise SaaS/Platform scaling- Capital-efficient global expansion- Start up/Scale up from both sides of the tableI regularly speak on construction digitisation, AI in the field, and scaling B2B SaaS in traditional industries.
