Seasoned leasing executive with more than 35 years of experience leading independent and bank owned leasing companies in a variety of niche equipment finance markets. Most of Scott’s experience and success has been in the vendor leasing business. During his career, he has held marketing and sales positions with GE Capital, PNC Bank-Equipment Finance and Live Oak Bank. As one of the founding partners of HealthCapital, the company succeeded in creating customer leasing solutions and exclusive programs for large, publicly traded healthcare vendors. In 2005, the assets of the company were sold to GE-Capital.

In 2016, Scott was hired by Live Oak Bank to build and execute a tax leveraged solar operating lease business to maximize tax efficiency and yield requirements for the bank. His responsibilities included producing a solar leasing Risk Assessment, Business Plan, Financial Model utilizing SuperTrump and ABC lease modeling software as well as a Lease Credit Policy to meet stringent parameters outlined by Live Oak Bank senior management. Within one year, Scott and the bank booked over $250 Million of solar operating leases as well as a pipeline of future business with trusted, nationally known developers. The advent of tax reform, mainly the reduction of the corporate tax rate, curbed the bank’s ability to efficiently utilize tax benefits associated with these leases and the program was discontinued.

Immediately following the discontinuance of the tax leveraged solar leasing program, Live Oak Bank appointed Scott as General Manager-Equipment Finance and was tasked with setting up a streamlined and automated small ticket leasing program to support the bank’s fifteen SBA vertical markets.
In September of 2021, Scott joined Molloy Associates as SVP-Client Partner to lead recruiting efforts for bank owned and independent equipment leasing companies. Over the past three years Scott has been instrumental in sourcing exceptional talent for equipment finance and leasing companies, including executive roles, credit, operations, sales and documentation positions. As a veteran of the equipment finance and leasing industry, his success in recruiting top talent is tantamount to his tenure and working knowledge of the industry.
