About the Person

John Scott is a seasoned senior executive with entrepreneurial vision and multinational experience. He served as an electrical engineer in 1969 at International Communications Corporation and was involved in the design and development of electronic countermeasures systems for the United States Department of Defense. As a result of this experience, he was at the forefront of custom integrated circuit development. He also holds three patents for digital communications technology in the implementation of a single chip transmitter/receiver. John has also started a number of technology companies, including Scott Communications Inc., which he sold to Andrew Corporation in 1987. After joining Andrew Corporation as vice president, he was responsible for creating a network products division by purchasing and managing various technology companies. Under John’s direction, Andrew Corporation was one of the first companies to link all remote locations in real time to its headquarters with an SAP enterprise system. While at Andrew Corporation, John did extensive work in both China and Russia. John was responsible for the creation of two joint ventures in China; one with The Peoples Bank of China and the other with the Nanjing Radio Company. This structure permitted the manufacturing of satellite communication equipment in Nanjing for deployment of the Peoples Bank of China across the country of China. In 1989, John managed the design and implementation of a fiber optic backbone communications system for Russia. This involved creating eight joint ventures with subway (Metro) organizations in major Russian cities, the Russian Academy of Science, the Russian Government, and the October Railway to provide digital communications through Helsinki to the major undersea cables that connect to the rest of the world. As part of this effort, John became a member of the Russian Academy of Science. In 1995, John created a new linear power amplifier division for Andrew Corporation. These devices are used at every cell tower in the world and provide the wireless interface to mobile devices. This effort involved purchasing companies as well as internal development. The largest acquisition was Celliant which was purchased from Lucent for $500 million. In 2003, John retired from Andrew Corporation to Austin, Texas, and keeps active by being involved with several businesses. John received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Miami in 1964 and his Master of Science Engineering from the University of Florida in 1967.
