About Scott Drossos

A passionate and successful leader with extensive experience in managed technology services and a broad range of network, security and cloud services in higher education, as well as other public sector and commercial market segments. We recently sold Apogee to Boldyn Networks and I\'ve transitioned from Apogee\'s CEO after 3+ years to Boldyn\'s CEO of Higher Education. Our mission and culture is largely unchanged and we\'re proud to say that We Still Wear Your Colors! I\'m very proud of the work and accomplishments the higher education team has made to higher education, highlighted by our continued high NPS and client satisfaction metrics. We are proof that it is possible to deliver high quality client experience and retention, while growing rapidly. At Boldyn Higher Education, we will continue to innovate and evolve our portfolio of managed technology services to ensure Boldyn is the standard for higher education managed networks and related technology services.Prior to Boldyn Networks & Apogee, I served as COO at InterVision Systems after leading the successful merger with Infiniti Consulting Group. During my tenure at Infiniti & InterVision I transformed both companies into high growth and prolific cloud services providers, across both public and commercial sectors. I previously served as President and Senior Vice President at Pearson North America, as Senior Vice President of Digital Partnerships at McGraw Hill Education, and as President, Chief Development Officer and Executive Vice President of Strategy and Marketing at Edison Learning. My Executive career started as a builder of one of the first SaaS based Learning Management System companies (Centrinity) which we took public (TSE) and grew through a successful combination of organic and M&A activities. After the sale of Centrinity in 2002, I was recruited and sponsored by Apple to join them and relocated to N. California.Great companies are built around inspired, creative, hardworking and transparent people, teams and leadership. I\'ve been fortunate to have worked for a wide range of successful companies, with different cultures, strategies and leadership styles. My greatest professional successes and work happiness have been derived in settings where leaders listen, act, trust and enable their people and customers to do great things. I\'m excited and honored to be Boldyn\'s Higher Education CEO.On a more personal note, I\'m proud of the great family my wife (Sharon) and I have built. We couldn\'t have done it without the rest of our extended family and our amazing circle of friends.
