Simone Twiss joined Global Creatures in June 2023 as Head of International Affairs of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, overseeing commercial operations in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, Korea, and the Netherlands, with more regions to come.

Simone has over 25 years’ experience in financial management and business partnering in the creative industries across producing, touring, venue management, recorded music, artist management and music publishing.

Simone’s early career covered over a decade in the music industry, including music publishing, record company and artist management across Australia, UK and USA. On settling back in Australia Simone followed her passion for theatre and moved into the performing arts at Opera Australia as Finance Director. Whilst there she also managed their extensive recording and broadcast operations, developing it into an award-winning business unit culminating in the groundbreaking opera The Divorce made for TV and film.

Most recently Simone was CFO at AIME Mentoring, a global not-for-profit seeking an end to educational inequity for marginalised youth, in particular Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth. During her time there she was constantly captivated by the imagination and wisdom of the next generation.
