Scott is an award-winning senior executive and board member with extensive experience leading start-up companies, as well as large MNCs through aggressive growth phases. He started his career at 16 years old when he established the first Internet Service Provider in Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. He was a founding executive of Dodo Australia and was pivotal to its rapid growth as Australia’s largest private telecommunications company (which was subsequently sold to M2 Group and since merged with Vocus Communications). Scott initiated the merger of ASX-listed Eftel, which provided wholesale and corporate telecommunications services, and consumer brand ClubTelco, taking the reigns as CEO and increasing the market capitalisation from $16M to $53M through an on-market sale. He created Bet247, which became the most rapid-growing sports-betting company in the country and established a consumer electronics brand, Pendo Industries, which manufactures touch-screen electronics. In 2006, Scott established Acquire BPO as a captive environment in response to the lack of high-quality offshoring providers. He has since evolved the company into a full-scale outsourcer offering contact centre, back-office, automation and intelligence solutions, with exponential growth year on year. He drove the company’s global expansion, opening an office in Dallas, Texas and a nearshore delivery centre in the Dominican Republic to service the bilingual English and Spanish markets. In 2020, Scott led the acquisition of The Smart Group, an onshore outsourcing provider based in Melbourne, Australia, enabling the entry to new markets, including government and blue-chip companies with an Australian onshore mandate. Scott’s hands-on approach has led to Acquire’s success as an entrepreneurial business that is highly experienced in working with their partners to solve real-life problems quickly. He has built a team that is proficient in exceeding expectations, especially in situations where in-house teams may be typically challenged with the business processes of “big business.” Acquire now spans 15 state-of-the art locations in Australia, the Philippines, the US and the Dominican Republic with over 7,000 employees, PCI certification, SOC and HIPAA compliance attestations and is powered by world-leading technology. In addition to its Class A physical delivery locations, a comprehensive Work-from-Home environment operates across various countries. Apart from Acquire BPO, he also runs Yomojo, a national mobile phone company, Books365, a cloud-based bookkeeping company and SHORE Solutions, a sister company to Acquire BPO. Scott has received many distinctions including Young Achiever of the Year, finalist for EY Australia’s Entrepreneur of the Year and The CEO Magazine’s Executive of the Year; AFR’s Young Rich List; Professional Services Executive of the Year and three-time honouree as Maverick of the Year at the International Business Awards.
