Scott Andrews believes leadership is not defined by title, tenure, or technical expertise. It is defined by how we treat people. In an era shaped by rapid technological change, workforce disruption, and institutional fatigue, his work centers on one enduring principle: humanity must remain at the heart of leadership.

For more than two decades, Scott has led complex public organizations across the United States, serving in executive roles in both large metropolitan cities and smaller community-focused municipalities. His experience spans dense urban environments, fast-growing suburbs, and rural counties. From senior leadership in Bakersfield, California, one of the largest cities in the nation, to city and county executive roles in Georgia, Florida, and New Mexico, Scott has navigated economic development, community trust-building, organizational reform, and crisis leadership at scale.

Currently serving as a County CEO, Scott has dedicated over 23 years to public sector leadership. He holds a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership, a Master of Public Administration, and is a Credentialed Manager through ICMA. He is also certified in EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence, reinforcing his commitment to developing leaders who combine competence with character.

Beyond the executive office, Scott has become one of the most engaged leadership voices in the public sector, with his insights reaching a global network of 20,000 professionals. Through writing, speaking, and thought leadership, he has built a community centered on trust, resilience, and values-driven leadership.

His signature philosophy, Lead With Love, emerged not only from professional experience, but from personal adversity. After navigating profound loss and seasons of grief, Scott reframed leadership through the lens of resilience, empathy, and moral courage. His bestselling book, Violets Are Blue, explores that journey. His later work continues to examine the intersection of emotional intelligence, servant leadership, and the evolving demands of an automated world.

Scott speaks nationally on leadership, resilience, emotional intelligence, and humanity-centered organizational culture. Whether addressing public executives, higher education leaders, or private sector innovators, his message remains consistent: systems may evolve and technology may accelerate, but leadership will always be human work.

At the center of it all is family. Scott is a husband to Danielle and a proud father. After losing his daughter, Violet, he began to see leadership through a different lens; One shaped by grief, gratitude, and resilience. Her legacy lives within his message and continues to guide his work. His son, Miles, reminds him daily why the future must be led with both strength and compassion. For Scott, leadership is not an abstract theory. It is a responsibility to the next generation.
