About Scott Paulson

As a Senior Executive, I take pride in reinventing businesses to reach full performance potential and overcome extreme business challenges—emerging stronger on the other side. It has been an adventurous 20+-year ride steering companies from startup to premier status through diversification and growth. In a series of leadership roles, I’ve been instrumental in creating two businesses that continue to grow and evolve—optimally positioned to handle macroeconomic and competitive threats.Together with my talented teams, we have: Remodeled the business to protect the company from market fluctuations, through expansion from automotive into the private-aircraft, commercial jet, flooring, and cinema-seating markets. Survived the most severe recession—and then thrived—by opening new revenue streams, strictly controlling costs, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives. Launched operations in the APAC region that delivered dramatic lead-time reductions and created ironclad protection against price pressure and rising material costs. Built a culture of entrepreneurialism, quality, customer solutions-focus, engineering innovation, and performance.
