Simon Hill

Head of UK&I A&C, Oracle

What is your greatest career move to date?

My current job role. Working with Oracle partners to embrace the Oracle Public and Private Cloud Strategies to solve customer needs is the dream job. A once-in-a-career opportunity to accelerate Oracle Partner Cloud solutions and be part of the largest ever transformation in the IT industry.

What is top of your bucket list?

To sail around the world. What has changed most since you started working in the channel? Public and private cloud. It is the future.

What is your least favourite task during the working day?

Anything that does not involve Oracle Public/Private Cloud and partners.

If you were an animal, what would you be?

A sea lion. At one with the sea and constantly exploring the ocean.

If you won the big one on EuroMillions, what would you do?

Set up an Oracle Cloud reseller.

What is your worst habit?

Talking incessantly about Oracle Cloud.

How has 2016 been for you?

Unbelievably exciting. The pace of change towards Oracle Public Cloud and Oracle partners' adoption of the cloud is both inspiring and rewarding.

If you didn't work in the IT channel, what would be your dream career?

An Olympic sailor. To be on the water but also have a goal and a drive for success. Or a submarine commander.

What major issues will the channel face in 2017?

The only issue the IT channel will face is dealing with the amount of Oracle Cloud opportunities!
