Testamonials
Lloyd Watts, Founder and CEO at Audience Inc and Neocortix
Scott served on Audience's Corporate Board of Directors during years 2-4 of the company's history, representing a key seed investor, during which time I was the CEO. Scott provided expert and thoughtful guidance on all matters of growing the company, developing the team, adapting to my new role as CEO, fundraising, investor relations, etc. He was able to address difficult issues and facilitate communications while still preserving relationships, and always kept his focus on doing what was best for the company, even when there were differing opinions about what was best.
I would be pleased to work again with Scott if the opportunity should ever arise, and I recommend him highly.
John Gitelman Consumer Products Entrepreneur at Bexy, M3 Medical
I've worked closely with the principals of Tower Stone for a number of years in several roles.
Bob is the consummate business executive. He is highly pragmatic and straight-talking while also possessing great vision, creativity and a progressive mindset. He is an innovator. As Chairman for M3 Medical his executive-level connections throughout the business and medical community were invaluable.
Scott is calm, rational and thoughtful which makes him an ideal team mate, collaborator and CEO/COO. His ability to objectively examine a range of management issues and opportunities based on facts always results in the right course of action. His calm management style underlies his strong and steady ability to move teams and organizations forward to get things done. I initially hired Scott to help me build Bexy's financial plan but he quickly became one of my trusted advisors and career coach as I assumed more of the CEO, CFO and CTO roles for the company. Because he's been there and because he has a thorough understanding of all that is involved with starting and running a company, Scott was an extremely valuable sounding board for me. His advice and encouragement always seemed to lead to the right action.

Scott and I have participated in leadership team meetings and strategic planning. I am unable to recall a time where Scott was unable or unprepared to contribute significantly to these meetings. Scott brings us a great depth of experience and has helped us to build a significant team of talent while managing to keep us focused on longer term strategic initiatives. Scott's interaction with employees, management and customers has always been both highly effective and refreshingly genuine. I highly recommend Scott's work.
