I had the pleasure of working alongside Scott Evans during our time at Corteva. Scott's role was pivotal in leading our company's transformation from a project-centric to product-centric mindset. His strategic vision and ability to drive change at every level of the organization were instrumental in its success. Scott's contributions extended beyond transformation; he authored the IT department's operating playbook and instilled an agile mindset throughout the teams. His boundless energy, unwavering passion, and tireless work ethic were truly contagious, inspiring those around him to achieve new heights. Scott has remarkable ability to work seamlessly with senior leadership, translating technical concepts into strategic insights and ensuring alignment with our business objectives. In addition to his leadership qualities, Scott is fluent in change management and a true servant leader. He consistently put the needs of his team first, fostering a culture of growth and excellence. His expertise in maturing IT departments is unrivaled. I recommend Scott Evans to any organization seeking a dynamic leader capable of driving transformation, fostering collaboration, and achieving exceptional results in the IT realm.
