About Ian Simpson
London, United Kingdom
Software Executive | Founder, Cyberdigest.AI
Cyberdigest.ai was founded by Ian Simpson, an enterprise software general manager and P&L leader with a track record of scaling high-growth technology businesses across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
Over the past five years Ian led an EMEA software business unit from $10.5M to over $150M in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). His operational scope spans full P&L ownership, multi-country expansion into 19 regional markets, rigid forecasting architecture, and the management of cross-functional teams including GTM, pre-sales solutions architects, and post-sales technical delivery organizations.
The Mission of Cyberdigest.ai
Modern executive boards and non-technical C-suite leaders face a critical challenge: technology is advancing faster than executive governance can process.
From open-source vs. proprietary AI models to the unit economics of cloud infrastructure and the commercial exposure of cybersecurity, most technical briefings are bogged down in engineering jargon.
Cyberdigest.ai bridges the gap between deep technical systems and boardroom execution. We translate high-stakes technology dynamics directly into business metrics: Gross Margins, P&L Impact, Risk Mitigation, and Scalable Revenue Infrastructure.
Core Operational Competencies
- Hyper-Growth Revenue Architecture: Proven methodology for scaling software operations from $10M to $150M+ ARR across diverse cultural, legal, and economic environments.
- P&L & Financial Governance: Complete accountability for regional P&L, quota setting, margin optimization, and bottom-up forecasting models.
- Technical & Services Delivery: Direct leadership of pre-sales engineering and post-sales implementation teams to protect gross retention and accelerate enterprise customer time-to-value.
- Systems Transformation: Re-architecting internal operational systems and software infrastructure to support rapid scaling without margin degradation.
