Scott has been a trusted advisor to senior executives, chief communications officers and investor relations practitioners for nearly two decades.
A once aspiring sports journalist, he brings the same on-deadline tenacity to the work he provides his clients.
Over the course of his career, he has helped hundreds of companies manage both complex special situations and every day corporate matters, including Twitter (sale to Elon Musk), Lyft (IPO), and Allergan (hostile defense against Valeant), among numerous others.
Scott was most recently a partner at Joele Frank, and before that worked at IBM and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, where he helped lead internal and marketing communications efforts.
He serves on the board of directors for The Daily Orange, the independent, student-run newspaper of Syracuse University. Scott graduated with a B.S. in newspaper journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
