  • “Scotty is strategic, analytical, detail-oriented, thoughtful, unfailingly professional, very well-connected, collegial, and kind. Scotty is a rare talent with a wealth of experience.”

    —Bill Wichterman, Senior Advisor at Covington & Burling LLP, Angel Investor, Author, Speaker

  • "Scotty is a trusted advisor and advocate on geopolitical issues that confront policy-makers and private sector leaders alike. Some people know policy. Some people know politics. Some people know business. Scotty is one of the few who navigates all three worlds with insight and tenacity."

    —Janice Gross Stein, Founding Director, Munk School Of Global Affairs and Public Policy

  • "Scotty and I travelled and worked together on the international beat as our global companies worked with the federal government throughout Asia on trade and other issues. Scotty's ability to find solutions to complex global geopolitical challenges is unique and inspiring."

    Blair Dickerson, Head of Government Relations Canada, Indigenous Rightsholders and Community Development, Board Director

  • “When the US border was closed to PEI Potatoes, our industry knew we needed immediate help. Scotty was one of the most important calls we made. Her intrinsic knowledge of the system, her ability to boil very complex issues down to layman's terms and her endless connections helped us navigate a system we had difficulty navigating on our own.”

    Kendra Mills, Prince Edward Island Potato Board

  • “Scotty is my first call when facing a strategic challenge. She has excellent instincts and a diverse background including public and private sectors as well as directorship on a publicly traded corporation.  While she obtains the most valuable leadership qualities, she does not bring an ego; Scotty is the first to help others shine.”

    Kathryn Kaufman, Founder, Card Development

  • “I've had the privilege of working alongside Scotty Greenwood for years, and few people understand the intersection of geopolitics and business the way she does. Her insights sharpened by real diplomatic experience have made her a trusted advisor to companies and governments navigating an increasingly complex world. Scotty doesn't just read the room; she helps shape it.”

    Kelly Craft, 30th U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations

  • “Scotty Greenwood is a force of nature. She is skilled at diplomacy, negotiation and trade. She also has an extremely sharp business mind with the ability to rapidly consume information and transform it into actionable intelligence. As a result of her amazing ability to communicate and tireless work ethic she has a network that crosses political boundaries, vertical industries and international borders.”

    Gabriel (Gabe) Batstone, Chief Executive Officer at Contextere

  • “We had Scotty at an event in November with our executive level leadership. We all have different perspectives, and thankfully Scotty has contacts at her fingertips.

    Scotty was a joy to talk to in the planning and leading up to the event. I personally have never been in the circles of the political landscape she gets the opportunity to work in, but I felt like I was talking to a family member. I mean that from the perspective of how approachable she is. And funny!”

    —Gary W. Hines, PE, CAE
