He is passionate about energy diversification and economic security - as well as market-driven solutions to environmental and social problems. At Yale, Scott has participated in numerous renewable-energy-focused case competitions, advised a Brazilian education start-up on its market expansion plan, and received honors or high honors in eleven courses.

Scott is currently helping write a case study about the success of the Connecticut Green Bank and analyzing how its model could be applied to national-level infrastructure banks. He is also conducting independent research into South American solar-investment opportunities. Scott completed MBA internships at the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the U.S. development finance institution, and at Cypress Creek Renewables, a leading utility-scale solar developer.
