ABOUT SCOTT M. ANDERSON
I\'ve spent 20+ years in banking learning one thing above everything else: relationships win. The best deals, the best teams, and the best outcomes all trace back to trust built before anyone needed anything.Today I lead Huntington Bank\'s national Sports and Entertainment banking practice. It\'s a new business, and building new things inside large organizations is where I\'ve always found my footing. Over the last two years I\'ve gone deep on the sports and entertainment industry, the business models, the capital needs, the people and relationships that make it run, and layered that on top of 20 years of learning how banking actually works. I\'m not the loudest person in the room, but I\'ll outwork anyone in it, and the people I work with tend to figure that out pretty quickly.I\'ve been fortunate to work alongside some great people and teams over the years. At Huntington we launched the bank\'s first fintech partnerships, put over $150M to work in direct equity and VC funds, and built something from the ground up that the whole team is proud of. Before that, national sales teams at Bank of the West and US Bank, double digit growth, and a lot of lessons learned about what it takes to build something worth building.I believe innovation has to be grounded in results. I believe the best leaders make the people around them better. And I believe the sports and entertainment industry deserves banking partners who are as serious about the business as the clients are.If you\'re in the business of sports, I\'d like to know you.
