About Scott McKay
As a leader I solve complex problems and clear obstacles, so those that I work with can reach their peak. Providing someone with an opportunity to perform combined with the right leadership enables them to grow and develop. I’m known for building empowered teams that focus on development and solving complex problem sets. Over the past 20 years I have honed my leadership skills in complex and ambiguous situations, enabling me to deliver dynamic results in the Army. I enjoy the challenge of building functional teams to solve problems and create efficiencies for organizations.I am a veteran and experienced in leading agile software development teams in the defense tech space. Agile program management experience and competencies using Jira, Confluence, and Microsoft based management tools. I have experience working in and managing AWS cloud environments and in architecting AWS solutions. Gallup Strengths: Achiever | Learner | Analytical | Responsibility | Focus
