G. Scott Tomlin
Experienced Senior Technology Leader - SRE - DevSecOps - Software and Infrastructure Engineering - Compliance - AI
Seattle, WA

I am G. Scott Tomlin, senior results-oriented technology leader, innovator, transformer, mentor, advisor, and agent of change; passionate about personal and team growth and development.

I have worked in positions from executive at founding startups to senior leadership positions in Fortune 100 companies.  

I lead multi-discipline teams of software, database, infrastructure, site reliability, internal support, data, and security engineers as well as technical product, incident, and project managers.  

I have experience in the gaming, large scale SaaS, online advertising, e-commerce, public safety, medical, cannabis, and other high regulation industries.

I am customer and partner focused; the best measure of success is that we have delighted our customers.  

I build teams with shared priorities by focusing on setting vision, holding teams accountable, and building consensus.

I empower teams to own what they do best, the “How” of execution.  

I institute procedures and policies that focus on holding engineers and managers accountable for their deliverables, raising the bar on security, quality, costs, and performance.  

I build environments of open communication where team members from the most junior to most experienced feel comfortable having conversations and challenging my direction.  

I am comfortable being wrong; I have strong opinions, loosely held.

I am transparent. I focus on ensuring that my teams know “Why” we are doing the work and focus on real impact; my favorite all-hands meeting format is the “Ask Me Anything.”

I create high performing organizations leveraging the team we have, preparing for the team we need to build.

I turn teams around through performance management, standards, and high expectations on execution.

I managed several teams through layoffs and other major organization changes.  

I am an innovator focused on technology, organization, and procedural evolution; I do not settle for the status quo.
