"Scott is probably the most talented CPO/HR Manager I’ve ever worked with. Scott did a fantastic job driving our [acquisition] due diligence process as it related to people and on boarding folks. Scott’s skills as broad as he is great at recruiting executive talent, managing performance management processes, dealing with administrative issues, coaching employees and interacting with a board of directors. More importantly, Scott became my most trusted advisor as CEO.”
