About Me

Unlock your true potential with a business advisor who shares your passion for growth and has the experience, expertise, and proven strategies to help make it a reality.

Hi, I’m a founder-CEO with 22 years of experience growing companies, building relationships, imagining the future, and creating new things. Now, my mission is to help fellow founder-CEOs bring proven strategies and customizable playbooks into their businesses. I coach them on building a solid team and executing their plans while focusing on what they love to do, ensuring their business thrives and archives their goals. My coaching expertise lies in strategy, business development, B2B & B2G, marketing, sales, and creative problem-solving. I’m here to help you get your business working for you, not the other way around!

I started my entrepreneurial journey in 2002 when I founded my first company, creating visual effects for Hollywood TV shows, where I won an Emmy for ‘Lost’ and received four nominations. In 2010, I founded an aerospace and defense technology startup and led the company for 10 years through unbridled naivety, survival, bootstrap, dogged resilience, and scaling, it is now operating and growing without me selling. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to sit on numerous boards and round tables comprising diverse companies, communities, people, and points of view. I’ve successfully sold to Hollywood giants like SyFy, Fox, ABC, and Disney, to aerospace leaders such as Boeing, Lockheed, and Babcock, as well as the Canadian government, securing many multi-year multi-million dollar contracts.

TESTIMONIALS

"Scott is the strategic growth consultant for many of the companies that rely on the Finance Stack. He works with our mutual clients to get the right strategy, tools, and people in place to grow revenues, which as their fractional CFO and Controllers we get to see first hand."

Brad WilliamsCEO and Founder

“JCAII is putting together the best team and scaling fast around its mature software solutions that advance today's airports with tomorrow's technologies. Right now it feels like we are Metallica recording The Black Album - before it went 16x Platinum and Scott is our Bob Rock! Pushing every band member to be the best they can be, using his experience, and bringing playbooks that will make us win.”

Jeff CampbellPresident and Founder

" I consulted Scott to grow my business. He worked with me to build a strategy to increase revenues through scaling my staff that would generate more semi passive income than I was making working full time for myself."

Brittany GullettPresident and Founder

Scott is very easy to get along with, and always has a positive outlook. His mechanisms of using OPSPs and OKRs has driven the company forward in a way that unites the leadership with the company's objectives. His understanding of customers, communications, sales and marketing are fundamental.

Darren StevensCEO and Founder

“I would definitely say on the fly creative problem solving is the main item that comes to mind when endorsing Scott. There have been a few cases in meetings where a potentially show stopping issue has been raised by someone and while the rest of the table is still processing the issue he has offered sound (often out of the box) solutions”

Patrick McfaddenCEO and Founder

“In a challenging situation Scott always sees opportunity, he can find a simple solution to complex problems while listening to multiple conversations to focuses on a solution that fits all”
