Creating Next-Gen Leaders to Carry the Torch – Dan Scott

Scott’s leadership has been evident through his commitment, passion and professionalism assisting CompTIA’s UK&I as it advances the tech industry.

As someone who devotes much of his time to fostering awareness of issues such as diversity, sustainability and the importance of leadership in technology, Scott feels strongly that we need to draw attention to these critical issues to help build a stronger community of leaders for the future. “If you’re the hero, you’re one person. Create heroes and you can be as many as they can create,” he said. “That’s how things change.”

Serving as the director of ConnectWise’s IT Nation EMEA community, Scott helps to foster collaboration and build a strong network of IT professionals. He serves as the vice-chair for the CompTIA’s UK&I Community’s executive council, which works to increase awareness of diversity and other crucial topics within the industry.

“I’m very fortunate to be in a position where I have a platform to do good and further CompTIA’s mission to advance our industry,” Scott said. “It’s not something I take lightly.” He is also a member of the CompTIA ISAO and also has worked to create awareness by hosting sessions at CompTIA’s EMEA Member & Partner Conference.

Scott is passionate about evangelizing critical issues and supporting IT professionals in their growth and knowledge-sharing efforts so they can have a more positive future through technology. He hopes to continue to be a driving force in the tech community by doing good as much as he can. “I feel it’s so important that we as an industry create the future generation of leaders that will one day carry the torch for this great industry, and that our industry is open to and accessible to all,” said Scott.
