“When I think about Scott, I think about one of the best business colleagues I have ever worked with because of the high level of humility and integrity which he brings to everything he does. Scott has this incredible passion for the business and even with all the experience he has already accumulated along the way, he is still as hungry as ever to continue to learn more. And as a people leader, Scott leads people as a Servant Leader, ready to provide them with whatever they need to have to succeed. As Scott’s HR person, I have watched him masterfully lead his teams to surpass the business results while still having the time to develop them and to help them grow as people. He does this through his natural servant leader mindset – Scott believes that as a leader you must do anything and everything you can to engage, energize and enable the people around you. I still recall when we were going through some major reorganizations in Scott’s business area, Scott was on the phone for hours with his team members, individually helping them through the process. This was going above and beyond the call of duty but for Scott this was the minimum he felt he should be doing. Speaking of Scott’s humility, I remember a time when the reorganizations also was changing his role. A leader not as humble and sure of himself, may have regarded this change as a negative but not Scott. He was able to see the bigger picture, quickly work his way through the change and focus on getting his team through it as well. During this period, I had several coaching sessions with Scott and with each conversation, I gain more respect for Scott as a person and a leader. He has tremendous mental fortitude and this incredible ability to see the positive in most situations even when they are not so good. Lastly, I would like to speak about Scott’s passion for the business. I remember when I first started in my role and I went out to do store visits with Scott to understand the retail sales business. After 1 day with Scott, I felt I had earned an MBA on Waters Retail Sales. This was because of Scott’s deep knowledge of the business and customers and also because of Scott’s passion for the business. In each store, I not only learned about the customer and what part of the business they represented to us but I also learned how we did as Scott had me doing “real sales work” as he called it. I learned all endcaps and facings and how to build relationships with all levels of personnel in the stores. I came away from that day better prepared to be the Sales HR person but also more knowledgeable and passionate about our business – all due to Scott! And for the 4 years that I have worked with Scott, this passion and energy has not waned at all. For these reasons and many more, I would recommend Scott for any key Sales leadership positions. And you can rest assured that from day 1 with your company, you will find Scott’s energy and passion for the business and for the people impactful.”
