About Scott

Over 30 years of expertise in finance, technology, and strategy dedicated to helping clients transform insights into the actions that drive profitable growth.

Hi, I'm Scott Wise

AI isn’t just another technology shift - it’s a human transition. After three decades at the intersection of strategy, finance, and technology, I’ve learned the real challenge isn’t tools - it’s helping leaders build the clarity, capability, and confidence to lead through change.

My career has taken me from building enterprise-wide profitability systems and advanced analytics solutions to leading strategic cost management programs for Fortune 500 companies. Along the way, I founded Armada Solutions and Wise 1 Ventures to put my entrepreneurial ideas into practice, and I built managed services platforms within Big 4 consulting that leveraged emerging AI technologies. Through it all, one lesson has remained constant: data and technology only transform performance when leaders know how to apply them with clarity and purpose.

To deepen that expertise, I studied AI and machine learning at Oxford and MIT. Today, through ScottWise.ai, I guide executives, entrepreneurs, and finance leaders in turning curiosity into confidence, adoption into advantage, and AI into a true amplifier of human expertise.

What I'm Doing Now

Through ScottWise.ai, my focus is on helping leaders, entrepreneurs, and finance professionals make sense of AI - not as hype, but as a practical amplifier of human expertise.

I research, write, and teach at the intersection of AI, analytics, and leadership, turning complex ideas into clear frameworks and actionable strategies. My work is designed to meet people where they are: curious about AI, eager for clarity, and needing confidence to put it into practice.

Today I partner with clients and audiences to:

  • Apply AI as a decision-making partner, not just a digital tool.
  • Build frameworks and playbooks that move teams beyond pilots into real adoption.
  • Free capacity so leaders can connect, create, and focus on what matters most.

My mission is simple: to help people turn curiosity into confidence, adoption into advantage, and AI into a force that strengthens - not replaces - the human side of leadership.

I believe business leaders need more than just hype around AI - they need practical frameworks, real-world applications, and a clear path to adoption. My goal is to bridge the gap between domain expertise and AI-driven innovation so people can future-proof their careers and gain a competitive edge in the AI era.
