The Consumer and Commercial teams are integrated with the CMO “Marketing Services Centre of Excellence” – Digital and Events. I now am part of the Microsoft HQ team that is leading the global marketing transformation of Microsoft’s large and fast growing commercial businesses, including AI, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Windows, SQL, Surface, and Visual Studio/Developer Tools. In this global role I am part of the team that ensures our current marketing transformation investments are successfully developed and adopted globally. In addition, I am focused on leading new strategic approaches and programs to further extend our marketing capabilities and their impact.’
About this show
Scott’s has a real passion for learning from others and he role models the Microsoft ethos for being a ‘learn it all’ rather than a ‘know it all’ and seeing mistakes as an opportunity to improve and grow.
He generously shares his proudest moments and the lessons he has learnt along the way and tells us how running provides him with an opportunity to take care of his mental wellbeing as much as his physical health.
His staircase career from marketing assistant to director demonstrates how you can make it to the top with tenacity, drive and surrounding yourself with positive people.
Scott finishes our podcast with his 5 secrets to success which can surely help us all.
An uplifting and inspiring half hour.
