Scott Demorest, Principal
Choosing to face his fears to a much greater degree than the average person, Scott accepts a new challenge on a regular basis, and more often than not that challenge has numerous barriers to his success. He’s challenged himself to learn to do everything from fly an airplane to play finger-style blues guitar to, well, start a business consulting firm – and so far, he’s succeeded every time. Scott brings his face-your-fears way of being to work with him. A big part of consulting, he finds, is helping clients not only to face their company fears — but to overcome them. For this, Scott is personally and uniquely equipped.
Prior to co-founding ACME Business Consulting, Scott worked among the ranks of Arthur Andersen Business Consulting and Arthur Andersen Audit. Throughout his consulting career, Scott has had tenures as far away as Tokyo, Hong Kong, Borneo and the Amish country of Pennsylvania. As a business consultant, Scott has done everything from devise a chicken-counting process for a large ag producer to supply chain management to major business process design reviews to enterprise-scale software implementations.
Before Andersen, Scott earned an MBA at the University of Notre Dame with concentrations in Finance & International Business. He followed this with post graduate work in London, where he studied business in the European Community. These days, in addition to being an entrepreneur, he's an active member of City Club of Portland, is very active with Self Enhancement, Inc., and spends as much time as possible with his wife, Rebecca, and their two young sons.
