About

Thank you for looking at my LinkedIn! For the TL;DR folks: I help companies build leadership teams to preserve and build their legacy. Want to meet or know more? https://linktr.ee/tomscottt Longer version: I am a two-time founder. I sold my first company, Fearless, in 2023 after growing it from £0 to 10m in 4 years. In that time, some companies I've worked with (in many capacities) include BP, London Stock Exchange, Klarna, Skyscanner, Wise, Miro, Toyota, Google Ventures, Handshake, Fantasy, Jio, Attio, and Gravity Sketch. Now, I'm building Verified. We are an executive search company building the teams of tomorrow. Companies globally trust us to build world-class teams that have a lasting impact on their enterprises. With our executive search and board advisory services, we build high-performance design and engineering teams for clients ranging from FTSE 100 companies to VC/PE portfolio companies, placing their senior teams. I believe I've been put in this world to help others realise their purpose by finding great work and enabling companies to support them. My credentials: - Advisory to global CEOs and VCs on building design teams. - Public speaker on all things talent, design and building companies. - Most followed design recruiter on social media - Built my own design agency, so I understand design well. - Interviewed the world’s best leaders on various topics. Outside of work, I am a man of God, a devoted father and an Olympic weightlifter. Glory to God! Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomscottt
