Simon Hayes

My career spans finance, executive search and consultancy. Investment banking took me from my hometown London to Boston, Tokyo and Hong Kong. Headhunting took me back to Japan, then, as head of a leading Financial Services practice, into the City of London’s most exclusive boardrooms. Mixing with “the great and the good” —Chairmen and CEOs of major public companies, Governors of the Bank of England, senior politicians and the like—my job was to work out what made them tick. Not just “Are they really any good?” but, “Are they trustworthy?” I wrote Zero Ri$k whilst creating the rubriqs people skills system, and spent much of 2023 in Zimbabwe on a major fraud case.

I had the fundamental idea for Zero Ri$k a decade or so ago. I was frustrated b

I've contributed articles to newspapers, including The Financial Times, Evening Standard, and The Far Eastern Economic Review, as well as features for London Magazine and a variety of other publications.

Well! All the better.

I worked in the television industry for many years. However, though I’ve worked with words all my life, I’ve only recently decided to do something with it. My humble aim is to try to produce - if I'm very lucky - my own version of what I consider a page-turner.

He devoured books by Alistair MacLean, Eric Ambler, and Robert Ludlum when he was clearly too young and impressionable to be reading such things.

But then I had a family, and my entire perspective transformed. I moved to the East Coast of Australia and went from scraping ice off my windscreen to wiping sweat from my face at Christmas time. To start with, I was completely disorientated, but now I’m at home, writing books in paradise.
