Simon Rhodes

Business Development Manager

Simon is Intergen’s Dunedin-based Business Development Manager. With more than 14 years’ experience in IT, Simon has a background in project management and the successful delivery of multiple business solutions: in ERP, CRM and custom development, large and small, across a diverse range of business sectors. As a result, Simon understands how business works and – more importantly – how technology can be leveraged to deliver significant value and what it takes to achieve successful implementation.

Previously, Simon worked for Procter and Gamble UK, where he led and delivered a number of EMEA-wide SAP ERP implementations. He made New Zealand his home eight years ago and has never looked back. Simon successfully initiated and built a Microsoft ERP and CRM practise for a national IT solution provider, rising to the role of Regional Manager and Director, providing integrated business solutions to companies across the South Island and Australia.

Simon has delivered projects and worked across multiple industry sectors, including FMCG, importing and distribution, professional services, process manufacturing, retail, wholesale and agricultural services.

Simon says “Reapplying the lessons learned and innovation from one industry to another is fundamental to enable clients to realise the significant value of their business initiatives and technology investments. I do this by firmly focussing on the most cost effective solution that reduces risk and maximises the value.”
