Jason Scott, 120VC CEO & Founder

  • Over 25 years of experience developing leaders who increase customer satisfaction, team satisfaction, and profitability.
  • Speaker and Best-Selling Author of “It’s Never Just Business, It’s About People”

J. Scott is the founder of 120VC, an execution leadership firm built on a single proven belief: leadership is not developed individually, it is installed as a team.

He is the person brought into board meetings when results matter more than excuses, turning leadership teams into execution engines that deliver return.

For more than two decades, J. has led transformations inside complex, high-pressure organizations including AT&T, Blizzard Entertainment, Sony Pictures, Trader Joe’s, First American Financial, ResMed, and others.

Jason’s work focuses on solving a problem most leadership programs avoid: the reason execution breaks down, even when teams are smart, motivated, and experienced.

Instead of training leaders, he installs an execution leadership system that governs how leadership effort is invested, decisions are made, and accountability is held inside the business.

He is the creator of the Execution Leadership System and the architect of the Executive Leadership Performance Accelerator (ELPA).

He and his team lead the installation of the system alongside the executive clients sponsoring their teams, operating and reinforcing the system inside live work.

The system does not rely on individual heroics to function. Ownership, decision-making, and accountability are embedded in the operating model itself.
