Alan Simon

Alan Simon is the CEO of North America Closeshoring and a Venture Partner at Acequia Capital — "an optimistic futurist with the soul of an industrialist"! Lawyer by training, Alan spent his early career as a partner at firms like Greenberg Traurig and Dorsey & Whitney before crossing to the principal side with nearly a decade at private investment firm The Broe Group, leading strategic growth across logistics, supply chains, real estate, and energy. When COVID laid bare the brittleness of American supply chains, he went all-in on the fix — founding Closeshoring to help companies and institutions rebuild industrial capacity at home. He's been splitting his time between operating, advising, and investing in the American Production Stack ever since.
