"Taking Care With Your Business"
Scott Consulting was set up to assist companies looking to make an entry into Asia’s markets and companies seeking experienced interim executive support.
How can I help you?
Why you might need interim executive help:
Temping is no longer the domain of administrative staff.
Companies are leaner and meaner. Your executive workforce no longer needs to be
a fixed cost. You have a new flexibility in managing your business.
Contract executives may be the most effective way for
your business to complete projects, manage investments and to fill management
gaps.
You may need experienced management as mentors to develop
your own managers.
You have a senior executive absence.
You have seasonal or cyclical business.
You need to manage a due diligence, investment appraisal,
strategic review.
You need an experienced executive to build a business
plan; to implement a reorganisation; to manage a new subsidiary business.
To manage a start up business in Asia and recruit and
develop the management team.
My work experience:
Sixteen years experience
in a major international news, information and technology company.
Three years
as CFO and Company Secretary of a Toronto Stock Exchange listed junior mining
company.
Have worked in Asia for
the last 12 years. Six years experience in Canada before that.
Proven record of meeting
and exceeding targets.
A network of
professional contacts across Asia.
Strong financial and general management background.
My role
As a contract executive you will expect me to control and direct resources and to implement ideas. This is not management consultancy. I am responsible to the company and to it's owners and/or shareholders as a part of the management team
Summary of work experience
I am a qualified chartered accountant (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales).
I have been based in England, Canada, Hong Kong,
Australia, Singapore and Bangkok.
