Okanagan Edge and Kelowna Chamber of Commerce are partnering to showcase some of the region’s most exciting entrepreneurs through the “Top 40 Over 40” program.

Sponsored by BDO, the “Top 40 Over 40” recognizes high-achieving professionals in our community and showcases their accomplishments. This marks the ninth year the chamber has conducted a “Top 40” showcase. Honourees will be featured throughout the year on Okanagan Edge.

********************************************************************************

Robert Scott was born and raised in Cheshire, England, and later moved to the southern part of the country. His father’s family had a naval background, so it was expected Scott would do the same.

He enjoyed his naval career before joining the world of civil aviation. Both careers provided extensive opportunities to live and work overseas, and he made stops in the U.K., Hong Kong, New York and Geneva. Scott says he has been extremely lucky to have thoroughly enjoyed every work experience he had, in particular being able to help young people achieve their goals.

Scott enjoys being a decision-maker and influencing the path of the organizations to which he has belonged. He particularly enjoys coaching in many fields—and not only business. Scott writes extensively, mainly on technical matters, though there may be a novel or biography with his name on it one day.

Scott is a big fan of the Kelowna chamber and is pleased to be able to contribute in a small way to its leadership in the Central Okanagan business community.
