Greg Simon Biography

Greg Simon, JD, is recognized for his extensive contributions to American cancer policy, with experience spanning government, science, and healthcare. Simon began his career in Washington, D.C., serving as general counsel and later as staff director of the Investigations Subcommittee of the House of Representatives Science, Space, and Technology Committee. In this role, he organized early investigatory hearings on biotechnology policy and participated in hearings related to NASA and the Challenger explosion. Simon later served as legislative director for Senator Al Gore and was appointed by President William Clinton as Vice President Gore's chief domestic policy advisor. During his tenure, Simon was the lead staffer for the Clinton-Gore administration on the development and passage of the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996, contributed to the U.S.-Russia agreement on the International Space Station, and oversaw initiatives such as the Human Genome Project.

After his White House service, Simon transitioned to leadership roles in the private sector and nonprofit organizations. He co-founded and led FasterCures with Michael Milken, co-founded and led the Melanoma Research Alliance, and served as senior vice president at Pfizer for worldwide policy and patient engagement. Simon played a key role in shaping the regulatory framework foundational to the biotechnology industry and has advised biotechnology companies including Day One Therapeutics, Vaxart, and WinSanTor. His work has focused on healthcare innovation, information technology, drug research and development, and patient advocacy.

A cancer survivor, Simon was selected by then-Vice President Joe Biden to serve as the inaugural executive director of the White House Cancer Moonshot, shortly after completing chemotherapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In this capacity, Simon led policy efforts to accelerate cancer research and treatment, coordinating a task force across 20 cabinet and sub-cabinet offices. Under his leadership, the Cancer Moonshot launched more than 70 private and public-private collaborations and numerous interagency and international initiatives, supporting the effort to secure significant new funding for cancer research. Simon later became president of the Biden Cancer Initiative, a nonprofit organization focused on advancing cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and care.

Simon is president of Simonovation, LLC, an international consulting firm specializing in science and technology policy. He is also a consultant, public speaker, co-founder of the IMX Health Exchange, and CEO of the Intelligent Medicine Acquisition Corp. Simon serves as a distinguished fellow for global public health at the Center for China Analysis. He has spoken at major forums including the Forbes China Healthcare Summit, the Milken Institute Future Health Summit, and the World Medical Innovation Forum, advocating for equitable access to cancer research and global cooperation in healthcare innovation.
