Every individual is unique and amazing – one of one – and capable of being a world changer. That philosophy is a cornerstone for the life and career of Scott Woods. Always striving to find the intersection of gifts, talents, and passions with a need in the world, Scott leads the Advocatus Consulting and Silverback Ventures teams.

Scott has built his career around helping companies unlock their potential and growth through optimizing their operational and financial processes, creating a culture of excellence, and building a solid foundation for maximum profit and impact. He is a 3x entrepreneur, consultant, growth coach, speaker, and impact investor who has had the privilege of working with some of the most influential companies in the Charlotte, NC metro area, throughout the Southeast, and beyond.

With over 30 years of leadership, accounting and C-level operational experience, Scott draws from the various companies and engagements he has worked on to truly teach real world application of the theory most just endured in college. As a business owner and consultant, he can empathize with owners but also cut through all the noise to get to root causes of their current issues and create and implement plans to solve those problems and maximize impact.

In addition to the above, Scott is a self-professed “recycled teenager” that loves to speak into the lives of college students and young professionals; helping them navigate the transition from student to adult. He is a mentor and Advocacy and Engagement Board member at Clemson University’s College of Business. He has mentored over 100 students and maintains an “adopted Uncle” role with many of them well into their adult years.

Scott lives in the Charlotte NC suburbs, is married to his high school sweetheart and is the proud father of two grown children. He is an avid hiker, golfer and amateur furniture maker who loves DIY projects and treasure hunting at thrift and antique stores.
