Most recently, Scott founded and sold Compliance Week, an information service for the officers and boards of global public companies. Compliance Week was acquired by London-based Haymarket Media in July 2008. Scott remains with the new entity.

Prior to launching Compliance Week, Scott co-founded a venture-backed media company that licensed a platform to dozens of publishers, including The Economist, Forbes, Fortune, Business Week and others. That company was acquired by CNET Networks, and forms the backbone of CNET’s business-to-business strategy, known as BNET (although you’d be hard-pressed to find any vestige of the legacy product).

Before that, Scott was on the founding team of The Boston Globe’s electronic publishing subsidiary, which developed the pioneering and award-winning Boston.com. Scott oversaw all content and editorial operations at Boston.com, which at that time was part of The New York Times Company’s “Times Company Digital.” Prior to co-founding Boston.com, Scott attempted to launch an early-Internet healthcare startup called Patient.com. He began his media career in the pre-Internet era, at a group of 100+ newspapers that had been acquired by Fidelity Capital, the private equity arm of Fidelity Investments.

Scott has provided digital media strategy consulting to public and venture-backed companies, and serves as an advisor to innovative companies in Boston, Chicago and Israel. He was also involved in the founding of The Nantucket Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, now in its 10th year, and supports entrepreneurialism and innovation in the Greater Boston area.

He lives in the western suburbs of Boston with his wife and three children.
