I had the pleasure of working with Scott during a consulting engagement and had a terrific experience. Scott has the right mix of strategic foresight, operations aptitude, global mindset, and emotional intelligence to lead a multi-national business. I have no reservations in endorsing his professional aptitude and wish him success.

Scott has the invaluable skill of being able to cut through all the clutter and get directly to the issue at hand. During our time together at Clearent, Scott led the corporate development effort, i.e., sourcing, integrating and managing the P&L for several acquisitions, which he did very successfully. In addition to his team-first attitude, Scott did a terrific job managing up, down and across the organization to keep everyone informed, focused and realistic.

I've worked with Scott over the past 4 years at Xplor and Clearent. Prior to that, Scott led our M&A efforts during that time and built up a team, pipeline and process from the ground up, ultimately resulting in 6 successful acquisitions during his tenure. As the Corp Dev/M&A lead, Scott bring a nice balance of hustle to find opportunities and strategic thinking in evaluating fit and negotiating the deal. He is a valuable asset to any M&A program.

Scott is a strong leader and company builder. He was instrumental in taking Clearent through several acquisitions, its merger with TSG, and outlining the go-forward strategy into new software verticals. Scott is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and has deep domain experience that were invaluable to growing Xplor to the business it is today.

I met Scott, the former SVP of Corporate Development at Clearent, when I worked with him on a very competitive process to purchase my company. Prior to the completion of the transaction I found him to be a straight shooter. He was forthright about the post-deal experience and assured us they wouldn't play any games with us - such as retrading at the time of close or anything else post deal that would have us regretting our decision. He kept his word before and after close. Post deal, working with him, I found him to be a highly experienced professional. Scott is someone I would like to work with again.

Scott became President of Filtration Groups HVAC division at an incredibly challenging time. Scott helped build a strategy to restructure the organization, while still preserving an infrastructure to grow. Over the next twelve months, the restructuring plan resulted in the recover of 50% of the revenue while improving EBITDA. During the period, the division did not have a single month where it lost EBITDA or Operating Cash Flow. Scott's leadership was crucial to the restructuring plan's success.

I hired Scott to help us assess growth opportunities via acquisition and strategic partnership and to identify such targets in our industry. Scott's work was excellent and extremely thorough. His expertise and hard work helped us create a winning business development strategy that has become a major growth engine for Manna Pro Products.

Scott is one of those rare leaders who takes the role of leader far beyond simply managing people. Scott is the kind of leader who loves to mentor and grows people, whether they are his direct reports or not. You leave every conversation with Scott with more knowledge, a deeper understanding and a better grasp of the subject. Scott is a natural teacher with an enormous depth and breadth of knowledge. Scott was the executive leader at the company that I worked for and as a result, we had a close working relationship for several years. Scott has a natural way of connecting with people, making them feel appreciated and understood. His visits to the site brought an immediate bump in morale, he connected with everyone and inspired them to do and be their best. You don't come across leaders like Scott every day and I was truly privileged to work with him and now to call him my friend.
