ABOUT

Hi, Iā€™m Scott

My passion is to help clarify and empower change in the most important moments of your life.

Professionally, I am a trusted advisor, counselor, confidant, listener, and empowering collaborator with executive-level Global HR, Legal and Management experience. Personally, I am deeply caring, curious, non-judgmental, balanced, enjoy continued growth, and am inspired by helping others.

I was a lawyer by original training working ultimately as General Counsel to a financial services organization and subsequently an HR Executive where I worked for innovative and industry-leading technology companies. More specifically:

  • HR Director/Business Partner, Google Sales Teams

  • Senior Director, Worldwide Sales HR at Apple.

  • SVP, HR, Legal & Administration of a turnaround, Pinnacle Systems, Inc. 

  • EVP and CAO of a pre-IPO start-up, Telocity, later DIRECTV Broadband 

  • SVP & General Counsel of Van Kampen Investments

  • Attorney, Chapman and Cutler

Academically, I earned a JD at the University of Illinois Law School and a BA in Economics from Wheaton College, also in Illinois.  I have lived in New York City for the past 14 years, San Francisco for the previous 10 years, and Chicago prior to that.  I have broadened my perspective by traveling to 6 continents and over 30 countries.

I am certified through the Hudson Institute's Coach Certification Program. I have also completed over 100 hours of training in CTI's Co-Active Coach Training Program and was previously certified by the International Coaching Federation. I look forward to partnering with you to affect critical understanding and change in your life!
