Executive coach. Vistage Chair. Founder, Scott Summit Group.
About Andy
I have made decisions like the one you are facing, with my own money and my own name on it.
I work with CEOs and senior leaders who are building companies that matter to them. I chair a confidential Vistage peer group in San Francisco and coach leaders one-to-one. Both come down to the same thing: better decisions, acted on, with someone holding you to them.
More than 30 years as an operator
I was the first employee at Garage Technology Ventures during the dot-com boom. I co-founded a patent advisory firm. I helped scale RPX Corp to $300M in revenue and through a successful IPO.
That experience covers growth strategy, fundraising, leading teams, and scaling a company in a way that lasts. It is what I bring to the decisions my clients are working through.
How I work
I combine an operator's experience with practical frameworks and honest feedback. I create rooms where CEOs can speak candidly, be held accountable, and learn from their peers.
The goal is a great company and a fuller life. Not one at the expense of the other.
Vistage Chair and founder of Scott Summit Group
As a Vistage Chair, I lead CE Group 8556, a peer group of CEOs and business leaders from a wide range of Bay Area industries.
I founded Scott Summit Group to offer one-to-one coaching and leadership team workshops alongside the group. I especially enjoy working with leaders who are growing fast and trying to build a better world while they do it.

Outside the office
I live in San Francisco with my wife, Stacey. We have two children, Audrey and Nathan.
You will usually find me outside: skiing, swimming, biking, or trail running. Or deep in a conversation about leadership, legacy, and purpose.
Start with a conversation
A short call about where you are, where you want to go, and whether the group, coaching, or neither is the right fit. No pitch, no pressure.
