Author Bio:
Simon S. Higginbotham is a former global business executive who stepped away from a high-level corporate career to become a frontline paramedic at the age of 50. A Harvard Business School alumnus and former president of a leading contract research organization, Simon once led international teams and multimillion-dollar strategies — but traded spreadsheets for 911 care in a bold pursuit of purpose.
Now serving with EMS teams in Ohio, he brings a unique perspective to the intersection of leadership, reinvention, and life under pressure. His writing captures the human side of emergency care with intensity, insight, and heart.
Bottom Line to Lifeline is his debut memoir — a powerful testament to the courage it takes to start over and the unexpected wisdom found on the road less traveled.
