Background

About Scott D. Ross

A communication leader with experience defining strategic communications that support business objectives. Talented with public relations, internal, external and executive communications, and skilled at leading national campaigns, crisis and reputation management, and preparing leaders for high-stakes engagements. Passionate about coaching, mentoring and creating an environment where people enjoy coming to work and reaching goals. Leading and storytelling are similar skills. The secret sauce is knowing when and how to apply the art and science to both. The industry doesn't matter. My experience is that these skills are transferable from the highest levels of the defense department to global corporations. I've succeeded in defense, transportation, supply chain, aviation, media, government, consulting services and technology, oil and gas and non-profits. A former attack helicopter pilot, I thrive on the occasional adrenaline rush. The fast paced environment of today's communication landscape offers such opportunities. Calm and control rules. Whether coaching for congressional testimony, planning media engagements for the Secretary of Defense, video appearances for a CEO, a conference for thousands or being a spokesperson, the daily 'grind' is always fun.
