Scott is The Motley Fool’s Chief Investment Officer in Australia, and he manages three different Motley Fool investment services, including the company’s flagship service, Motley Fool Share Advisor and its most exclusive service, Motley Fool Platinum. He’s the author of a new book, The One-Page Investing Plan.
Scott is passionate about investing, having managed his own portfolio for over 25 years. And he also spends a lot of time and effort understanding the economy and breaking it down to make the moving parts accessible and understandable.
Scott holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Management) and a Graduate Diploma of Accounting. Before joining The Motley Fool, he worked in various Sales and Finance roles in industry, which has allowed him to see the good, bad and the ugly of corporate management close-up.
That experience has led Scott to agree with Warren Buffett, who said he was ‘a better investor because I am a businessman and a better businessman because I am an investor’.
He left a successful career to follow his passion – making sense of our economy and helping Australians make the most of their money.
