Per Scott’s CEO, Mike Dennison, “Scott is a major part of Fox Factory’s success and has built an amazing team. He was dropped in the middle of an acquisition during the Pandemic and displayed remarkable resiliency by doubling revenue between 2020 to 2022 ($800M - $1.6B)”. As if that’s not impressive enough, he’s also overseen multiple acquisitions plus successfully relocated over 1,200 jobs to the Atlanta area. Since Fox Factory moved to Georgia, they've been contributing to the local community through a number of corporate and employee led initiatives.

Earlier in his career, he managed all treasury activities at Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. (NYSE: SWM) and prior to that at Hyco International, Inc.
His strong people skills paired with a Boston College education and MBA from Georgetown, helped Scott quickly rise to the top. Scott cares deeply about building a strong company culture and the success of Fox Factory. In fact, Scott was selected by his peers as one of 3 finalists for Atlanta’s 2022 Preeminent CFO of the Year award, reflecting Glen Jackson’s 7 Pillars for achieving preeminence (trust, relationship building, communication, assessment, servant leadership, fanatical focus, and remarkable resiliency.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Scott about his role at Fox Factory. “Over the years I have found the CFO Forum to be a great way to network with and learn from my peers in Atlanta. I am excited to join this esteemed group of thought leaders on the Advisory Board to further serve the Atlanta CFO community."
In his spare time, you will find Scott traveling with his family, wine tasting, and playing fantasy football.
