Bio
Ted Truscott
Scott performed some critical work for us over his many years at Ameriprise. Always responsible and responsive, Scott was a "go to" person for just about anything needed in the investment services area, a crucial backbone to our asset management business. I recommend Scott highly.
Colin Lundgren
I worked with Scott for more than twenty years. He hired me into the department in the late 80's, and I reported directly to him for about three years. Scott and I worked together in the Investment Department in various capacities since then. In my opinion, Scott's strengths are two-fold: (1) relationships and (2) project management. Scott is an excellent "people person". He is direct but in a respectful, professional way. He encourages, supports, motivates his team and gets the best out of them. In terms of project management, Scott is extremely organized and stays on task. In addition, he is very good at managing expectations and "shooting straight". I am very confident that Scott can and will be successful in a variety of positions that involve people, projects and other business ventures. I recommend him with my highest enthusiasm and confidence.
