Scott is a firm believer in “making your data do the work,” and he has enlightened countless business executives to the value of proper data management by focusing on the strategic rationale and business alignment rather than technical implementation and system integration. Scott is more of the strategic WHY than the technical HOW. He has spent over two decades guiding Tech Brand owners to leverage their reference data and taxonomy assets. In a variety of strategic marketing, GTM, innovation, and consulting roles, Scott has worked with some of the world’s most iconic business data brands, including Dun & Bradstreet, Nielsen, Microsoft, Kantar, NPD as well as start-ups such as Qoints and Spiceworks.
