I make banking work better.

I'm Henry Simpson. Over eight years at Macquarie, I've worked across collections, partner performance and major operational change. I use data, commercial thinking and practical tools to solve problems people have learned to live with.

A short story / 00

The work, in motion.

10.8 seconds · Three results

From debt-sale revenue to a major portfolio sale and a 120-person systems migration, these are some of the outcomes behind my work.

Selected work / 01

Results shaped by the details.

My best work sits where operations, customers, data and commercial decisions meet.

01 / CommercialDebt sales

Found $5m in additional annual revenue.

I redesigned the end-to-end debt sale process and structured agreements with new and existing partners. I also secured a $1m lump-sum payment for a specialised pool of accounts.

02 / DeliverySystems

Helped move a department onto better tools.

As business lead on a Twilio and Salesforce migration affecting around 120 staff, I defined our operational requirements and advised the project team on them. I also built reporting in Salesforce, Power BI and ThoughtSpot.

03 / BuildingRecovery operations

Rebuilt the daily workflow for specialist recovery teams.

While managing specialist teams, I used Excel Power Query and SQL on a server-hosted database to redesign B2B collections workflows and support specialist debt sales. I then built Power BI dashboards that helped us develop targeted strategies worth millions a year.

How I work / 02

I like the problems that sit between teams.

I enjoy getting close to the work: talking with customers and suppliers, testing assumptions in the data, working with specialists, and building a solution people can use.

I have managed collections teams, negotiated with partners, delivered operational change and presented proposals to senior leaders. That range helps me connect the people making decisions with the people who live with the result.
