Currently on the staff of corporate communications in Ford Motor Company, Scott heads up the social media function and holds the Global Digital & Multimedia Communications Manager. He is a strategic advisor on all social media activities across the company, from blogger relations to marketing support, customer service to internal communications and more, as social media is being integrated into many facets of Ford business.
