Simon Black

Simon Black

Senior Editor: Without Borders

Simon has never been a conformist. Home schooled in his early years, by the time he reached public high school, he spoke three languages. Surprising everyone, he successfully sought appointment to West Point. There, he passed his idle time (all 12 minutes of it) by becoming a master in the art of online trading, using his skills to set up and manage an intramural mutual fund. After graduation, he joined the CIA and for the next several years lived two lives – one of an entrepreneur and investor, the other as an intelligence officer in the Middle East and elsewhere. When the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, Simon’s idealism was replaced with a growing disdain for the government establishment. After leaving the service of Uncle Sam, his borderless quest found fortune in land development and service contracts in Equatorial Guinea, real estate ventures across Latin America and in managing a securities portfolio. Despite his success, Simon’s ethos is not about the money; it’s about freedom. Armed with multiple passports, keen investment acumen, and a chronic case of wanderlust, he is forever in search of the next opportunity or Fitzmcleanastan, whichever he finds first.
