About R Scott Spann Over the past 25 years, I've been solving seemingly “impossible” problems for Business, Society, & the Earth. My work is inspired by my experience with business leaders – trying to do the right thing in complex, competitive situations; my work with Social leaders in NGO's and government – seeking to satisfy diverse stakeholders in ways that benefit the whole; my career as a Rolfer and trauma psychotherapist – witnessing people recover from the injuries that life and humanity too often deal us; my time in nature as a cowboy, hunter, and sailor; and my training as an internationally competitive athlete. Born and raised in South Texas working on ranches and fishing boats, my experiences range from consulting with Arthur Andersen & Co. to launching the Texas office of The Nature Conservancy; Managing Vice President of RPC, a small national consulting firm, to leading the Rolf Institute; Vice President for ARC, International, a global leadership development & cultural change group, to Stone Yamashita Partners, a global branding & strategy firm; from CEO for VC firms to working with former guerrilla and indigenous leaders in Guatemala. And I continue to learn by working with Business, Social, & Earth-centered leaders today. I’ve applied my unique strategic methodologies successfully in businesses like Apple, HPE, and Humana; with social issues like Climate Change, Affordable Housing, and Social Justice with foundations and NGOs; and on complex projects for the U.S. Navy and the White House.

What people are saying

The experience of one of the hundreds of Leaders I've worked with.

“I worked with Scott during a time of significant and holistic transformation of a $25B high technology business. Scott’s in-depth understanding of strategy, organizational dynamics and what it takes to drive sustainable business success is outstanding. And, when you couple that with his amazing ability to put the business strategy into a context that brings the people of the organization into the center of the development and implementation of the strategy, the outcome is that it drives results quicker and more effectively than anything I’ve experienced before.”
