After working as an investor in venture capital with Summit Partners in London, Sims became an accidental author, as the coauthor of True North, the bestseller that has been selected as one of the top twenty-five leadership books of all-time.

A top resource for innovators, it was selected as one of the six best advice books for entrepreneurs by The Wall Street Journal.
