Scott Nadzan

I worked with Scott very closely during the acquisition and integration of Ensemble Video, when he was CEO, and continued working with him following the integration when he established the account management discipline at Panopto. Scott is a true "level 5" leader - he is deeply embedded in all areas of the business, and yet somehow manages to lead his teams with vision and empathy. Scott cares deeply about his employees, product and customers. I can recall numerous conversations where Scott carefully debated the right way to balance business objectives with the needs of his team and customer base. Few leaders have the ability to do both effectively. I would gladly work with Scott again.

Scott is the rare executive with both strategic and emotional intelligence, making him a valuable leader in Customer Success and Sales leadership. His sincere care for customers and prospects beyond a quick contract truly sets him apart -- whether it's closing a large-scale deal or motivating his team through tough transitions, Scott listens and learns before taking action and is a reliable collaborator, earning the trust of both customers and colleagues alike. Scott not only has the business chops to set successful strategy but the tact and communication skills to articulate that vision to an organization and inspire his teams to achieve challenging goals together. In my two years of working with Scott he has proven to be a versatile, enthusiastic, and empathetic leader.

I had the pleasure of working with and for Scott at Panopto, where he was instrumental in leading the Customer Success department and guiding us through organizational restructuring. He has a wealth of industry knowledge, a keen business intellect, and is a true player-coach, always willing to roll up his sleeves and jump in to help his team. It is evident through his leadership that he cares about what is best for his employees, the customers, and the company. Scott is one of the hardest working individuals that I know, and would be a wonderful asset and leader to any organization that desires those qualities.

Scott is a true visionary when it comes to customer success and sales. He possesses a deep understanding of our customers' needs and consistently strives to exceed their expectations.

He has been an incredible mentor and coach to me, always taking the time to nurture my potential and offer valuable guidance. I cannot stress enough how much I will miss our regular one-on-one meetings. Scott's presence and willingness to impart wisdom have been invaluable to my professional development. As a sales leader, his strategic insight guided us through complex deals, helping us navigate the intricate sales cycle with finesse. Scott's ability to think outside the box and formulate innovative approaches helped our team achieve our fiscal year goal of retaining 94% of our revenue, which is world-class in SaaS.

I wholeheartedly recommend Scott to any organization seeking a dedicated, strategic, and compassionate leader who will drive sales success, foster strong client relationships, and inspire team members to reach their full potential.

Rare are the people that can both think strategically and executive at a high level of performance tactically. Scott is one of these. He is a highly creative and talented entrepreneur and would be a franchise player on any team. At Ensemble Video, he had his fingerprints on the original software patent, created the logo and website; contributed to blogs and conference panels, and lead both sales and marketing. His energy, work ethic, and passion are hard to match. He is a trusted expert and entrepreneur in digital media in both the corporations and in the classroom.

Scott is an exceptional leader and mentor who has had a profound impact on my professional growth. Throughout our time together, Scott consistently demonstrated a can-do attitude and a commitment to delivering exceptional results. His ability to communicate ideas clearly and concisely was invaluable in fostering collaboration and achieving our team's goals.

Scott is the type of guy who can bring up a room's energy in 0.01 seconds. I admire his passion for the industry and his care for teaching and training his teams. He's the type of guy I would be proud to work alongside or report to because he knows what he is doing but he is not afraid to listen to new ideas and opinions different to his and accept when they are the right direction to go with.
