Project Auxo is on a mission to transform the supply chain industry, and we couldn't do it without our talented team! One key player driving our mission forward is Scott Underwood, AI Strategy & Implementation expert. Scott's unique blend of technical expertise, out-of-the-box thinking, and passion for superior service is helping make our vision a reality.
After spending the early part of his career in the construction industry, Scott's childhood passion for computers and desire for a less labor-intensive job led him to his first tech job. "As a kid, I'd spend weekends taking apart my PC, breaking it, and figuring out how to fix it," he said. A Craigslist ad led him to his first position making cold calls at a tech company. With a newfound love for the fact-paced, innovative startup world, Scott spent the next several years in Customer Success roles at various startups, eventually landing at monday.com.
Scott's proudest career moment came during his time there. "Seeing that company through from a startup all the way through to IPO and helping shape it along the way -- that's my biggest career accomplishment," he said.
Scott stepped into new territory joining former colleague Patrick Schmied at Project Auxo. "Auxo has been my first professional foray into AI and Machine Learning. AI has changed the way I see the world and look for solutions. I love learning new technology, even when it means banging my head against my desk until I figure it out."
The unique opportunity to shape Auxo's company culture also drew him in. "You only get one chance to build company culture for the first time. That's top of mind for me 100% of the time at Auxo -- being a good coworker and making sure everyone's taken care of," Scott said.
Scott also emphasizes the importance of Auxo's mission. "The times we live in just keep getting weirder, and the supply chain affects 99.9% of people. Auxo's mission helps alleviate some of those issues so everyone can live life without having to worry about where to buy toilet paper or eggs."
Outside of work, Scott enjoys traveling, riding motorcycles, and spending time with his 18-year-old wiener dog, Spud. And when he’s in the kitchen, he’s cooking up everything from sourdough bread to homemade beef jerky.
We're grateful to have Scott on the Project Auxo team, as his impact has already been felt in significant ways in improving our AI solutions and shaping our company culture. Beyond Auxo, Scott's curiosity, dedication, and expertise are helping shape a future where businesses can adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.
