Scott will be responsible for all U.S. activities related to Information Technology (IT) for the company, including business applications, system architecture and communication infrastructure support for STIHL Inc., its branches, distributors and servicing dealers.

“I’m excited to join a company that focuses as much on its customers as its products,” said Scott. “I look forward to delivering first-rate, efficient service to STIHL employees, branch distributors, dealers and customers.”

Scott holds a Master of Science in Industrial Administration (MSIA) degree from Purdue University and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Brigham Young University.
