About Shawn Scott

As Founder of Applied Intelligence, I help businesses and startups adopt artificial intelligence in ways that are practical, secure, and responsible. My work focuses on guiding organizations beyond experimentation and hype toward AI strategies that deliver real operational and business impact.I work closely with founders, executives, and teams to assess AI readiness, identify high-value use cases, and design clear roadmaps for implementation. This includes advising on governance, risk management, data security, and ethical considerations, as well as helping teams build the internal capability needed to use AI effectively and confidently.Previously, I was the Chief Information Officer at Onsite Health Diagnostics, a leading provider of wellness management solutions for employers and employees. There, I managed and supported all aspects of information technology and product engineering, expanded the core lines of business, and maintained the highest standards of security and privacy. I also developed and maintained a Ruby on Rails based application that streamlined the scheduling and management of workplace biometric health screenings.
