About Scott

In addition to his work on behalf of the Lux brand, Scott provides strategic counsel to portfolio companies to help them promote and protect their public profiles. Lux’s belief that scientists, technologists, and inventors will create the future from the seemingly impossible is a natural fit with Scott’s lifelong dance between the worlds of art and science. 

Prior to joining Lux, Scott led brand and communications at Atlassian, where his teams won numerous awards for their creative and high-performing approaches to storytelling. He is the former Chief Marketing and Chief Communications Officer at Tanium, an endpoint management and security company. 

Lux is not Scott’s first tour of duty in venture capital. He was previously a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where he focused on public relations and marketing for the firm and an extensive range of portfolio companies. 

Hasta la muerte todo es vida —Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Before moving into venture capital, Scott held multiple roles at Google. His last position was as global head of corporate communications. He was formerly the London-based head of communications and public affairs for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He also split his time between the public policy and communications teams at both Google and YouTube, focusing on controversial content on the companies’ platforms, including censorship, freedom of expression, and the sexual abuse of minors. 

Prior to Google, Scott ran his own communications and public policy consulting firm in San Francisco and Madrid, with a range of clients from semiconductor companies and the Spanish Royal Navy to micro-lettuce growers and social science think tanks. 

In keeping with his art and science fascination, Scott earned his AB at Harvard University, with a concentration in Literature and a (very unofficial) secondary focus in Primate Anthropology. He received his MA from The Writing Seminars (Fiction) at Johns Hopkins University.

Outside of work
Scott hand-presses and ferments apple cider and produces a line of small-batch jams, marmalades, and honeys that he sells in speciality shops in San Francisco.
Scott is the co-author of "In Every Tongue," a book that examines the intersections of race and religion.
Scott serves on the board of 826 Valencia, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting under-resourced students ages six to eighteen with their creative and expository writing.
