About
Simon Beard is a successful Entrepreneur, co-Founder and CEO of international streetwear empire Culture Kings, with his wife Tah-nee from humble beginnings in a single weekend market stall at Carrara Markets. In its early days, Culture Kings relied purely on bootstrapped growth and was built to over $600m valuation in 2021, where he conducted a successful partial exit which was one of the biggest private retail acquisitions in Australia's history.
With Simon's fearless leadership, drive to disrupt, speed and agility to remain ahead of competitors, Culture Kings has set the textbook balance of new age retail with true experience based and theatrical.
Simon is also an experienced Business Investor, with interests in a variety of Entertainment Groups and Technology Companies.
