Scott’s extensive experience working across a wide variety of organizations combined with his intense focus on being a world-class communicator has made him a desired and effective coach to executives and their teams — a strategic thinker and trusted advisor, a sounding board and clarifier.
As Ford’s first digital communications executive from 2008–2014, he earned the trust of the C-Suite, blazing a trail that other corporate social media leads followed. He was ranked by The Economist as #1 atop the list 25 Social Business Leaders; Ford CEO Alan Mulally called him “a visionary.”
With communications as the nerve center of companies, Scott’s experience placed him as a strategic advisor across a variety of business functions, including HR, legal, IT, product development, marketing, customer care, and business strategy. Scott has advised clients ranging from start-ups and entrepreneurs to IBM, McDonalds, Google, Walmart, and T-Mobile on communications and business strategy.
Scott is a trustee of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, a past board member of the American Marketing Association, and has advised several tech companies.
He writes the Timeless & Timely leadership newsletter and hosts the Timeless Leadership podcast, focusing on principles for leadership success.
