In over 30 years in the sports business industry as: Director of the Sports for the 1982 World's Fair, VP of Sports at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, VP of Worldwide Sports Marketing at Gatorade and CEO of Oakley, I counted on Scott's expertise and knowledge numerous times and on many occasions. Without question, Scott Zagarino was absolutely one of the best I've ever worked with in the business of sports marketing. He can develop strategies, a plan and execute them to perfection.

Scott has always worked to provide services and outcomes that have real meaning. He's organized, committed to details and results. But most importantly cares about his work, his clients and the effect his efforts have in the world. A great asset for anyone considering partnering with his expertise.

Scott has a vision and determination to persist as an advocate in the face of daunting odds. He is driven to produce measurable impact by opening up new pathways for athletes, causes, and allies, unlocking society's full potential to effect social change. Scott's commitment to the cause, his undying enthusiasm for the cause, his ability to build high-profile events that are profitable, and his ability to ring new audiences and diverse age groups to the cause have made him a phenomenal asset to PCF.

I worked with Scott during the years he coordinated on-site Gatorade activities during Gatorade's tenure as sponsor of the Ironman World Championship Triathlon in Kona. Scott is a high-energy, can-do professional who always got the job done, regardless of the unforeseen impediments that invariably arose. Simply put, we counted on Scott to get the job done and he always delivered.

Scott is extremely talented in helping athletes and athletic performance to support great causes. He is an energized, thoughtful get-it-done leader who can do more with less capital investment than almost anyone. He delivers cutting edge knowledge of athletes, events, the web, software, and free media to provide products that allow active people to support causes. Scott is the best definition of a socially responsible entrepreneur, and his focus is laser sharp.

I have know Scott for 30 plus years and he has always been straight forward and brutally honest. His frankness, yet willingness to listen has always been one of his consistent business and personal attributes. We can butt heads but there is always a resolution. He knows how to compromise yet always maintains his integrity and standards.
