About Scott Egbert
Executive coaching grounded in real leadership experience
I work with leaders who are navigating expanded scope, increased complexity, and moments of transition where the quality of their thinking matters more than ever.
​
My coaching is shaped by over two decades of leadership experience inside complex organizations, paired with deep training in executive coaching. I understand the pressures leaders face because I’ve carried them myself — responsibility without full control, visibility without certainty, and decisions where tradeoffs are real and consequences matter.
​
Experience that informs how I work
Before becoming a coach, I spent more than 20 years in senior corporate finance roles, including leadership positions at Intel, spanning Intel Capital and global FP&A functions. I managed large-scale investments, co-led multi-billion-dollar acquisitions, and supported leaders operating in fast-moving, high-stakes environments. Alongside those roles, I consistently gravitated toward developing leaders — building manager development programs, facilitating leadership training, and providing internal coaching long before it became my profession.
​
That experience fundamentally shapes how I coach.
​
I don’t approach leaders as problems to be fixed or skills to be trained. I work as a thinking partner — creating a confidential, grounded space to slow down, examine assumptions, and strengthen judgment in the context of real organizational demands. My clients often tell me the value isn’t in being told what to do, but in having the space and challenge to think more clearly and act with greater intention.
​
Today, I coach senior and high-potential leaders across a range of industries, including technology, financial services, healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing. I also serve as a senior consultant and leadership coach with Right Management, and as an adjunct career and executive coach at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and Tauber Institute for Global Operations.
I hold an MBA from the University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business and a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan College of Engineering. I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation, trained through the Hudson Institute of Coaching, and certified in Hogan Assessments.
​
What matters most to me, however, is not credentials — it’s presence, perspective, and judgment. Leaders come to this work not because they lack capability, but because their roles demand more discernment, steadiness, and clarity than ever before. My role is to help create those conditions, consistently and sustainably.
