Hoho the person who should have been fired weeks ago had Tre put him in the boardroom and not Lohit gets the job, wrong decision, in my opinion, but that will be his loss.
You know he probably will be a good employee, with the right management etc.. But thats not the point of the show - Kristina by far deserved to win and he didn't in the slightest.
Bad choice, but I think Sir Alan wasn't willing to take another flier with a woman this year after Michelle. Simon will be completely useless if he doesn't have people with initiative behind him, he couldn't motivate a starving man to eat, and I think AS will live to regret this decision just as much as last year.
I wonder if Kristinas scripted reply to his question killed her chances? IMHO she looked far too confident the entire episode, as if she expected to win and didn't think Simon stood a chance.
