Background

About Simon Hobman

I’m a digital and product leader with a background in software development and over 20 years’ experience building customer-facing platforms, APIs, and cloud-native services across financial services and other industries.I currently lead digital and product delivery at Zenith Investment Partners, where I focus on turning complex research and data capabilities into simple, scalable platforms that integrate directly into adviser and partner ecosystems.I’m deeply hands-on by nature. I enjoy getting into architecture, data models, and code, while also working closely with product, UX, and stakeholders to shape what we build and why.Right now, I’m particularly excited by the step-change AI is bringing to software delivery and product design. Not as hype, but as a practical accelerator for quality, speed, and experimentation.I care about- Building things that are genuinely useful- Keeping platforms simple and maintainable- Strong integration patterns and clean APIs- Teams that learn fast and ship responsiblyAlways interested in conversations around product strategy, platform design, and the real-world application of emerging technology.
