His experience caring for patients continues to shape his approach to technology, with a focus on practical solutions that improve clinical quality, expand access to care, and make healthcare delivery more efficient.

Before joining Upward Health, Scott served as CIO at Confluent Health, where he led enterprise technology strategy, digital transformation, and AI initiatives across a nationwide network of nearly 900 clinics. He previously held senior technology leadership roles at CareAbout Health, Visor Health, Humana, and Kindred Healthcare, supporting initiatives spanning value-based care, population health, clinical technology, data and analytics, and operational transformation.

Scott’s love of building doesn’t stop with technology. He designed and built his own home and enjoys fine woodworking, photography, scuba diving, and all things sci-fi. He and his wife, Kathryn, have four sons, and most fall weekends include enthusiastically rooting for OU football, even when the Sooners make that harder than it needs to be.
