In 1998, Simone founded Mondo Search & the Mentor Evolution, placing over 2800 business leaders and connecting schools and corporations through mentoring.
In 2011, Simone hit burnout and embarked on a journey of recovery. She discovered the power of good recovery programs to support people with trauma histories, especially aided by mentors. Her background and experience came together with the founding of the Womens Resilience Centre in 2020, her “True North”, bringing together her charter of Women’s health, mentoring, practical job readiness, skills & sustainable recovery programs.
