Simon Clarke

Lead - Digital Strategy & Customer Experience Suncorp

Simon holds over 18 years of experience in financial services and have drove digital programs, projects, feature delivery and optimisation for multiple ASX20 companies. His recent stint in product consulting allowed a focus in coaching and transformation of product teams. I love facilitating (and conquering the world via Miro/ Mural) and driving a cross functional team to ripping apart customer problems and using design thinking to organically solve a problem. His passion is to infuse storytelling, pragmatic design, coaching those new to agile design and delivery and being able to blend the ol' desirability, feasibility with business outcomes be it a storycard or a program delivery. He has delivered experiences that have won Canstar innovation awards as well as other external accolades and has a proven ability to drive digital strategy, transform digital banking and delivery on business / digital targets - all whilst keeping customers at the core and heart.
