Robert S. Simon

Founder, Regina Mundi Global Advisors

The mission which drives Regina Mundi is the belief that the next generations of leaders can do better for themselves and for their communities when sharing. Building a business and building an equitable and just future should complement each other rather than conflict.  Robert lives that experience. He is a son of two medical professionals raised in the tradition of “tzedakah” which roughly translates into ‘righteousness’ mixed with ‘good works’.

Mr. Simon is private school educated in the USA, classically trained in Latin, French, and Semitic languages; university trained in Russian studies and studio art; graduate trained in environmental law at the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis & Clark College; currently a member of California, Washington, and Oregon state bar associations, and a member in a host of professional groups over the past three decades. Passionate for the preserving of the natural environment, for conserving indigenous wildlife, and for improving the human condition, Robert has lived a lifetime acting on these passions. He has succeeded and failed, in turn, with the best of intentions always evident, and throughout demonstrating the resilience of spirit to try time and again. Robert is a role model for the Regina Mundi beneficiaries and his colleagues are proud to share the effort with him.
