Simon Glendenning

Simon joined Partners Wealth Group in late 2020 as Chief Operating Officer. In this role, he is responsible for ensuring the delivery of the company’s strategy as the team strives to empower as many Australians as possible to navigate the financial decisions in their lives.

Simon has more than 15 years of experience in financial services, having led Asia Pacific and the Middle East for Western Union Business Solutions. In that time, he drove digital transformation across the region and established new markets in the Philippines and India. Prior to that, Simon was based in Paris where he was the head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, leading a business turnaround that resulted in exponential year-over-year growth.

Simon’s skill in leading large, complex businesses is complemented by his entrepreneurial drive and ability to execute. As a founder, Simon led the creation of the world’s largest marketplace for live fitness, scaling the platform to a client base covering over 60 countries and securing commercial deals with global fitness brands, professional sporting teams and national organisations. Simon sold his business in early 2020.

Outside of work, Simon enjoys spending time with his wife and three daughters – travelling, being active and enjoying life in Melbourne. He is also a dedicated runner and won the 800m state championships in 2021.
