I’m Simon Smith. I work at the intersection of AI and strategy—helping leaders make better decisions in a time of massive change.

Currently, I’m EVP of Generative AI at Klick Health, where I focus on technology and market research to drive AI strategy and transformation for our life science clients and the company. Before that, I helped scale preclinical AI company BenchSci as Chief Marketing Officer, and later developed science-focused transformer models as part of their R&D team. Over the years, I’ve led digital strategy for drug launches, published in places like Forbes and PM360, and lectured on AI in pharma for the European Center of Pharmaceutical Medicine.

This space is where I share what I’m thinking about AI’s evolution and its impact on business and society. The goal is to help leaders make sense of it all—and take the best next step with the information available. I don’t publish on a schedule. Just when there’s something worth sharing.

You can also find me on LinkedIn and X.
