Experienced product leader helping companies build better products and stronger teams
Hi, I'm Dave Scott
Dave Scott is a Silicon Valley software executive and three-time Chief Product Officer. His passion is product, and his superhero power is future vision. He is a customer-centric, design-driven product leader who has scaled multiple software companies to successful exits and provided deep advisory services to over 80 technology companies at varying stages.
He's held executive roles at Intuit, frog design, Survey Monkey, and owns patents in mobile, CRM, search, and financial services. Dave began his career in consulting roles at Scient, Gemini Consulting, and EDS, having earned an MBA with honors from the University of Chicago's Booth School and an Engineering degree from Ohio University.
Dave lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, teenage twins, and a spritely, sassy Dalmatian named Bodie. For fun, he likes to travel, race his mountain bike, ski off cliffs, and play guitar badly.
My Approach to Product Leadership
Empowered teams, differentiated strategy, sustainable product-driven growth
Strategy First
Direction beats speed. A clear strategy creates differentiation, focus, and momentum toward durable advantage. The best strategy is not about being better, but about being different.
Customer Obsessed
Design for delight, not just utility. Foster a design-driven culture where every decision is measured by direct customer benefit, not just features shipped.
Empowered Teams
Alignment unlocks your team's creative velocity. Circle the right people around a shared vision, equip them with modern tools, and give them the autonomy to do their best work.
Predictive Performance
Metrics that drive the future, not explain the past. Forward-looking, customer-backed metrics unify teams and prioritize your roadmap decisions to do right by your customers.
