His Business record is as follows:
- Scott joined Bass Pro Shops in 1989 as Vice President of Corporate Expansion. He quickly advanced within the organization and played a key role in developing strategies related to talent, markets, and customer engagement, which significantly contributed to the company’s rapid growth. During his tenure, Bass Pro Shops expanded from a single store and four catalog titles, generating approximately $100 million in revenue, to over $1 billion in annual sales.
- In 1998, Scott shifted his focus to Limited Too, which held less than 1% market share at the time. Initially appointed as Vice President to create a mail-order catalog, he later led the company's entry into the e-commerce space. Scott served as both Chief Operating Officer and Divisional President, overseeing the expansion of Limited Too to 1,100 stores and a workforce of 20,000 associates across 22 countries. Under his leadership, Limited Too outperformed competitors such as Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, and Macy’s, and its profitability ranked in the top 10% among all specialty apparel retailers.
