Then we forked. Three people, three completely different disciplines, the same underlying belief: the infrastructure connecting brands to buyers is broken in ways most people haven't fully named yet.
Neural Partners is the convergence.
Neural Partners was built by three practitioners who spent years working inside the systems they're now rebuilding. Not adjacent to them. Inside them. That difference is the whole point.
We all came up together in Vermont, then ended up at the same place: Dealer.com, a Burlington startup that grew into one of the defining digital marketing platforms in automotive retail before its billion-dollar acquisition. That's where we learned what it takes to build software that actually moves an industry, and what it costs to do it right.
Co-Founder & CPO
Path 01Leading R&D, building AI-powered marketing technology, and managing media spend at a scale that forces you to care about infrastructure, or watch things break.
Scott leads product, engineering, and GTM at Neural Partners. Before founding the company, he spent 15+ years at the intersection of AI, automation, and digital advertising, most recently leading R&D for marketing technology products at Cox Automotive, where he managed multi-million dollar monthly media programs across thousands of clients.
He's based in Vermont, which is not a coincidence.
Agency & Commerce
Path 02Landing at one of the world's most recognized digital agencies, leading large-scale ecommerce builds for brands that don't have patience for theory.
Two decades building and scaling digital commerce for some of the world's most recognized brands. Currently a senior leader at one of the world's top independent digital agencies, with deep experience running large-scale ecommerce programs across retail, DTC, and enterprise. Brings the client-side reality check that keeps everything grounded.
Operations & Client Success
Path 03Running the managed-services teams behind SEO, content, and advertising for thousands of dealers, then into senior leadership at a fast-growing automotive AI startup.
15+ years running the operational side of managed digital services, SEO, content, social, paid, at scale. Built and led the teams behind the work, not just the strategy. Currently VP of Operations and Client Success at a venture-backed automotive AI company. Keeps the trains running and the clients honest.
Current team
While the founders mostly operate in stealth, there's a team of rockstars behind Neural Partners who have shown real alignment with the mission. Most of them have chosen to work in stealth too, and we support that decision.

How we use AI
Treat an agent like another teammate and things get a lot simpler than retrofitting it into a legacy framework. So that's what we do.
Maya is NP's Chief of Staff and works in Slack. Meeting prep, agendas, dev notifications: all handled like a dev on call or a real EA.
Every agent has its own inbox, and Maya has her own Google Workspace account.
Each repository has an agent tech lead with its own keys and auth, so everything it does is tracked and traceable. Agents stay on a leash.
Maya has her own company credit card.
Maya has her own phone number, for the founders.
How we work
We're not hiring to fill seats. When we bring someone in, it's because they make the whole system sharper: practitioners with real depth who want to build something that matters.
Get in touch →If work never stops, what does a schedule even look like? We work in new ways, not the 9-to-5.
Whoever's best positioned owns the decision. Real autonomy, and the trust to do your best work without someone looking over your shoulder.
Any timezone with a connection is cool with us. No shoes required.
The five-year vision and the six-month roadmap. One keeps us building toward something that compounds; the other keeps us honest about this quarter.
We hire the best people to make NP possible. Without them, we lose. Our opportunity is everyone's growth.
