About Scott Skillman

I have had a wide-ranging career in finance, strategic planning, IT and 22 years of C-suite roles associated with diverse public, private and family-owned companies ranging in size from $5M to $40B. The verticals have covered Manufacturing, Technology, Transportation, Consulting and Public Accounting (I am a CPA). I have geographically managed and traveled extensively for business in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. This route has allowed me to accumulate a wealth of knowledge. The scope of my experience is a solid foundation, as a VISTAGE Chair and Executive Coach for guiding and supporting business leaders who are on their path to success or continuous learning.I realize the value of mentoring because I had two outstanding teachers in my career who were instrumental in helping me learn what to do (and just as importantly what not to do) as well as how to reach my goals. I feel a responsibility to do the same for others. Having been a Vistage member for 3 years, I know how powerful the forum can be. As a Vistage Chair, it’s my way of giving back. I’ve got hundreds of true-life stories (professional and personal) that I would like to share to help you on your journey. s••••••••@vistageflorida.com.

Experience

1. Chair

   Vistage Florida

   Jun 2018 — Present · Jacksonville, CA

   As a Vistage Chair, I work with CEOs, Business Owners, Presidents and Executives of small, mid-size and large companies who are looking for access to private, peer advisory input and experiences in order to help them achieve professional and personal growth. This forum provides them with the ability to become better leaders, better decision makers and to achieve better results.At Vistage group sessions, CEOs discuss issues that they have been wrestling with. It’s these frank and open conversations that make the difference, both personally and professionally. As a Vistage member, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be. Vistage, with more than members, is one of the world’s leading chief executive leadership organizations. According to a 2020 analysis of Dun & Bradstreet data, Vistage member companies grew 4.6% compared to a (4.7)% decrease by non-member average small and medium-sized U.S. businesses year over year.For more information, connect with me at s••••••••@vistageflorida.com.
