About Scott Utech

A proven and strategic leader with over 25 years of General Management experience specializing in Sales, Marketing, Merchandising, Business Development and Strategic Partnerships. Working for global brands such as Nike, Reebok, Coca-Cola, and Champion: I offer diverse experiences with a curious mindset, driving results through collaboration and accountability. I thrive in a chaotic and unknown environment and take great pride in charting new territory. “Why and What If” are embedded within me. I have consistently been recognized as an “Energy Giver” who thrives in a fast pace, competitive and must win environment. With people at the center, I understand what is most important: Faith, Family & Friends…. while always having plenty of FUN! LEADERSHIP PROFILE:> Celebrate the Team: Will set Clear Direction and Expectations with accountability at the core. Having spent 20+ years coaching baseball I embrace the group. No single individual wins or loses, it is ALWAYS about the team!> Business Development: Sound decisions come from evaluation across multiple business functions and stakeholders. Consensus and alignment are key. My experience across multiple brands, channels of distribution, and business functions are a unique skill set. My success comes from my ability to “think broad” while developing solutions that are actionable and ultimately deliver results.> Relationship & Partnership Development: People want to do business with people they like. People are at their best when there is a common goal and fully understand the win. I nurture an honest and open environment where ideas are being heard and decisions are made through open communication and collaboration. Whether an internal or external partner I approach everyone with honesty and integrity and seek the “win”.> Influencer and Change Agent: Will take a strategic approach to create trust, develop alliances, and build support to challenge the status quo. “What If and Why” are incredible questions which should be continually asked of yourself and the team. In the end how can we challenge our thinking to create strategy, develop plans of action and ultimately capitalize on the greatest opportunities.
