His expertise in recognizing emerging companies and understanding the underlying trends within the market later led him to successful tenures at Stifel Financial Corp. and Morgan Stanley. Throughout his career, Scott's core competency has been his ability to identify the themes that drive debates and ultimately impact stock performance.
