More About Scott

Focused on extracting value from enterprise data for some of the world’s largest consulting firms and global clients, Scott has led strategic data transformation programs centered around cloud data warehousing, advanced analytics, and operational efficiency efforts across multiple industries including oil & gas, consumer goods and services, and manufacturing and industrial as well as automotive.

Scott says his passion for finding value in data can be traced back to working in procurement years ago. “The absence of data needed to do the job effectively was a problem I spent most of my time trying to solve — a challenge that prompted me to change my career focus to IT and data.”

Now, as the speed of change and innovation accelerates and becomes more complex, crucial, “bet the company” decisions need to be made in days, not months or years. Having the agility to pivot quickly is critical for survival. And embracing diversity is essential to attract and retain the key talent needed to be a relevant company today and tomorrow.

In spite of the complexity of today’s technology and data landscape, Scott brings three core values to work every day: 1) Keep it simple and realistic, 2) Focus on value and results by creating and leading high-performance teams, and 3) Roll your sleeves up and lead by doing.
