Scott started work in the IT industry with IBM straight out of university. Five years later, he left to start an IT consulting company Netforce which, in 1999, signed its first managed services agreement.

In 2014 Scott joined BigAir (ASX:BGL) to help establish and grow the Cloud and Managed Services side of the business. Scott joined TribeTech in 2018 to build a ‘modern MSP’ using the learnings of the last 20 years about what to do (and what not to do). Scott is currently busy fulfilling TribeTech’s growth ambitions.
Scott is actively involved with Streetwork, a not-for-profit that mentors vulnerable young people to help turn their lives around.
Scott has a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Science (Computing) from QUT and an Executive MBA from AGSM/UNSW.
