Scott Smith

Scott Smith has spent thirty years where accounting meets IT. That combination is the work: he reads a control environment the way a CFO does and a systems architecture the way a CISO does, and he has spent a career translating between the two.

Today he serves as an interim IT risk executive for organizations across industries, nationally and internationally. The engagements differ. The question doesn't:

What's the thing that's going to shut this down?

Almost nobody in this space holds both literacies. Accountants stop at the system boundary. Technologists stop at the ledger. Scott's career has been the seam between them, which is exactly where the exposure lives.

Plainly

What he is. What he is not.

What he is
  • An interim executive in function, with ownership and a mandate
  • A builder of systems that hold after he leaves
  • Regulator-literate, on both sides of the exam table
What he is not
  • A staffing firm
  • A checkbox audit
  • A permanent hire

The conversation costs an hour.

The question it answers tends to be worth more.
