About Scott Player

A business guy, a founder, a director, a mentor, an advisor, a husband, a father, a sailor and someone who loves helping people have a crack and succeed. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to run a number of market leading businesses and start-ups, worked with great people and clients and learnt from both success and failure. I’ve founded and grown businesses from ideas, disrupted the status quo, mentored and advised many, bought and merged businesses, developed and refined operations, driven top line & bottom line growth, imported and distributed products and had a few ‘learning experiences’ along the way. Whilst i’ve had success in large, market leading organisations as well as challenger brands, my underlying formula for success has been similar… I like to operate at the intersection where passionate people combine with technology, creativity and an innovative approach to solve problems and drive effective growth. This, when viewed through a smart commercial lens, and wrapped in a ‘JFDI’ (just f’n do it!) attitude, is where true value is created. I now draw on this experience to- help founders and executives drive effective growth in their businesses- bring real technology, marketing and disruptive experience to boards- help 'startups' become successful businesses; and - play 'devil’s advocate' to optimise current plans and strategies. Business leaders, ask yourself- What could you achieve if you had another ‘you’ to help with important things you never get to- Need a devil’s advocate to challenge your thinking- Looking for more technology/marketing/operational experience on your board- Are you really positioned for growth- Are you positioning your business in the right way to the right people? If one of these questions gets you thinking, or is keeping you up at night, let's chat. And lastly, here's my top 10 tips for success and happiness in business: http://bit.ly/sptop10
