In 2020, Simon was elected President of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and took up the role on September 1st, 2021.

On his election, Simon said he wanted to create "a more open, productive, engaged and reinvigorated RIBA" that addresses "global climate change and architecture's pivotal role in a post-pandemic world."
