incuto today announces the appointment of former Sky executive Dougal Scott as its Chief Commercial Officer, effective immediately.
With a background in large-scale change and transformation programmes during his time at broadcaster Sky and also as Director of Strategy for regulator Ofcom, Dougal will be focused on incuto’s ambitious growth plans going into 2021.
During his time at Sky, Dougal moved from Director of Strategy, where he led the businesses corporate strategy team, to roles including Director of Group Integration, Managing Director – Insight and Decision Science and, finally, Managing Director, Insight and Data Technology. In his final role at Sky, Dougal oversaw a major transformation programme which included the restructure of business units to create a new Data Technology and Operations team, alongside the shift to agile software development and Google Cloud.
As Chief Commercial Officer for incuto, Dougal is responsible for realising the company’s potential and growth. He brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role, including a number of Non-Executive roles at Cornwall Air Ambulance and environmental consultancy Treeconomics.
“I’d like to welcome Dougal to the incuto team; he is the ideal candidate for our growing leadership team as the business enters its next stage of fast-growth,” says incuto CEO Andrew Rabbitt. “As expected, the pandemic sparked an upturn in interest from credit unions with an urgent need to enable remote working and provide digital access for their Members. The customer has always been front and centre to incuto’s technology and strategic partnerships, so it’s great to be helping an increasing number of ethical lenders digitise and maximise what they can offer.”
Dougal has proven experience in business planning and go-to-market strategies, management and governance processes, operational transformation, data and people strategies.
He comments: “I’m delighted to take on the Chief Commercial Officer role at incuto. I hope to bring my 25 years’ experience in corporate life to the team, and have a particular interest in innovators like incuto that are not only providing much-needed technology to a sector which needs it, but also align with the social messages their partners espouse – true ‘tech-for-good’ providers who take the same caring approach with their credit union partners as many of these organisations do with their own Members.”
