Simon Cowell

TV Producer and Founder, Syco Entertainment

Love him or loathe him, it is hard to argue with Simon Cowell's credentials. For a substantial proportion of the British population, a TV programme produced by Cowell has become a Saturday night staple. His two flagship projects, The X Factor and the Got Talent series, have enjoyed enormous success over the years, kicking off the careers of artists including Susan Boyle, Diversity, Little Mix and One Direction, who have also added to the roster of artists signed to Cowell's Syco music label. Starting out in the music industry as a post boy at EMI Music Publishing, Cowell was almost bankrupted by his first label, Fanfare Records. He is now one of the UK's most successful producers across both music and television.
