2024 end of year
ceo message
Dear Clients, Partners, and Friends of Simitri,
As we approach the end of 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been an extraordinary year, both globally and within our leadership community. This year has been filled with significant milestones that remind us of the courage, resilience, and visionary leadership needed to navigate the challenges of our time.
In 2024, 79 countries, representing over 2 billion people, held general elections, demonstrating the global demand for strong leadership and the responsibility that comes with it. We also witnessed historic advancements in social progress.
Greece, a country rooted in Christian Orthodox traditions, legalized same-sex marriage and adoption—an extraordinary step toward equality and inclusion. This bold decision is a reminder that true leadership often means challenging long-held norms and leading society toward a more just and inclusive future.
In the realm of exploration and innovation, the ruins of an ancient lost city were discovered in Eastern Ecuador, reminding us of the value of uncovering new insights and learning from the past.
Meanwhile, the Icon of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, embarked on its maiden voyage, symbolizing the heights that human creativity and engineering can reach when leaders push the boundaries of possibility.
Looking ahead, we must continue to focus on building a better, more inclusive world. This vision requires that we address global challenges with a spirit of unity and compassion. The conflicts and wars that persist around the world are obstacles to our shared humanity and progress. They divide us, creating suffering and instability, when our collective strength lies in cooperation, empathy, and understanding. By working together to end these conflicts, we can lay the foundation for a future where peace, justice, and opportunity are accessible to all.
At Simitri, we have had the privilege of working alongside many of you—leaders who, like those on the global stage, have confronted challenges with courage and emerged stronger. Whether navigating the complexities of business transformation, leading teams through times of change, or driving innovation within your organisations, your achievements have inspired us all.
We are deeply grateful for the trust you place in us to be part of your leadership journey.
As we look ahead to 2025, we remain committed to supporting you in your pursuit of excellence, providing the insights and tools necessary to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Together, we will continue to lead with impact and create a future that is bold, inclusive, and full of opportunity.
Wishing you and your teams a successful and prosperous new year.
David Huxley
CEO & President
