In memory of Simon Field (1946-2026)
We at the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation were fortunate to have had the privilege and pleasure of working with Simon Field who died last month. Simon was a trustee of the Foundation, joining the board in 2022. He was invariably enthusiastic, thoughtful and generous with his time, his considered insights and much-valued guidance. We will miss him a great deal and send our condolences to Simon’s wife, wider family and global network of friends and colleagues.
