He has extensive experience in emerging markets, particularly in India, China and the Philippines.
Between 2009 and 2015 Scott served as the chair of the investment committee for IDEAS Ventures, a $10 million venture fund comanaged by Innosight and the Singapore government. He also served on the board of directors of MediaCorp, Singapore’s leading media company, from 2013 to 2019.
