About Scott Ross

What drives me? I love collaborating closely with prolific leaders. I love bringing together a team of wonderful people then dialing them in to the right challenges. I motivate with a bolus of clear, optimistic goals followed by a continuous drip of encouraging challenges and honest feedback - while expecting the same - so that we\'re all doing our best work in delivering products that our users, customers and industry will celebrate. I also design products, platforms, applications and service architectures which deliver creative, scalable solutions to interesting problems in the Healthcare SaaS and analytics space. I consistently find myself in the role of a change agent looking to drive better product development in complex and challenging landscapes. With my deep background in engineering and lifelong interest in product design and strategy, I\'ve been recognized for communicating clearly and effectively at the C-Level while being able to turn around and drive valuable input in deep technical discussions.
