Lia De Simone
Lia joined Arrow Planning in June 2022 and brings a wide range of experience and knowledge to the team. As Chief Finance and Sustainability Officer, she oversees the company’s financial health, keeping the business on a strong and stable footing as it grows.
Lia is passionate about efficiency and enjoys finding smarter ways of working, whether by streamlining outdated processes or making everyday tasks simpler for her colleagues. Her practical, forward-thinking approach helps the team spend less time on admin and more time on the work that matters.
Lia's Role
As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, Lia helps to shape the direction of Arrow Planning and plays a key part in the smooth running of the business. Day to day, she manages our accounts and invoicing, making sure everything runs accurately and on time behind the scenes. Lia also leads our approach to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. She is passionate about improving Arrow’s environmental and social impact, both as a business and within our local community, and played a central role in our achievement of Silver CSR Accreditation. Her great sense of humour and people skills make her a valued part of the team culture at Arrow.
Away from Arrow
Fun fact: Lia is part of the TwinsUK Programme and, alongside her twin sister, contributes to health research at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. Away from work, family is at the heart of everything Lia does. She loves holidays and weekends away with friends, and recently took on the Tiramisù Marathon in Treviso, Italy. A keen walker with a creative streak, she enjoys getting outdoors whenever she can, and in the summer months she can often be found cold water swimming or out on a paddleboard.
