scott@collectedstrategies.comScott Bisang has been a trusted advisor to senior executives, chief communications officers and investor relations practitioners for nearly two decades. A once aspiring sports journalist, he brings the same on-deadline tenacity to the work he provides his clients. Over the course of his career, he has helped hundreds of companies manage both complex special situations and everyday corporate matters, including Twitter (sale to Elon Musk, transition of founder Jack Dorsey), Lyft (IPO), Allergan (hostile defense against Valeant), Newmont (hostile defense against Barrick Gold, friendly acquisitions of Goldcorp and Newcrest), athenahealth (activist engagement with Elliott and sale), and Merck (several transactions), among numerous others. Scott was most recently a partner at Joele Frank, and before that worked at IBM and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, where he helped lead internal and marketing communications efforts.
