Michael G. Scott

Regional Manager

Portrait of Michael G. Scott

Regional manager with 15+ years in mid-range paper sales. I lead with heart first and spreadsheets second: my branch runs on trust, improv rules, and the occasional conference-room meeting that could have been an email. I believe a team that laughs together outsells a team that doesn't.
