He became division head of computer sales, and then purchased that division as his own company. It was eventually built into a twelve store operation in three states.

His next endeavor was as Founder and CEO of Paragraph, Inc., a Soviet/American joint venture founded in 1988, despite international tensions. Half of the company was sold to Silicon Graphics and the other half is still expanding today (Parascript, Inc.). Scott then collaborated with H.R. Haldeman to publish his diaries of his years as an aide to President Nixon, which was a bestseller (Putnam Publishing) and involving Sony Interactive in the release of a companion CD-ROM.

The evolving internet ushered in a world of opportunity for inspiring pioneers, and Scott was not left behind. He was Founder and CEO of webcasts.com, an early producer of webcasted media ranging from corporate and government communications, to sporting events and entertainment. His expertise in leadership and his creative approach to business direction, inspired Critical Technologies to hire him as a turnaround CEO, where he completely rebuilt the underlying products and brought the company to profitability. Today, Scott shares his unique perspectives on technology, business culture, and the future, with audiences and organizations all over the globe.

In addition, he has developed courses on both Computer Security, and Entrepreneurism. These are available at - http://www.okcimc.com/titles/klososky/

Learning to be a TechExec - What every leader needs to know about using technology to win

As the technology explosion continues to pour new tools on the world, it is getting increasingly difficult to develop a winning strategy for using them. Organizations are spending huge amounts of their budgets to gain leverage in the marketplace, and finding that almost every project costs twice as much as they believed, and takes twice as long to implement. Most executives, have little idea what the IT department is even talking about when discussions come up around security, networking, or software architecture. It is now a business reality that technology trends and usage must be understood and utilized in order to grab market share, and drive profits.
