Built from the inside out.
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.
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.
Path 01
Leading 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.
Path 02
Landing at one of the world's most recognized digital agencies, leading large-scale ecommerce builds for brands that don't have patience for theory.
Path 03
Running the managed-services teams behind SEO, content, and advertising for thousands of dealers, then into senior leadership at a fast-growing automotive AI startup.
Neural Partners is the convergence.
AI agents are doing the research, filtering the options, and making recommendations before a person ever sees a brand. Half of all consumers already use AI when searching the internet — and that number is climbing.
The businesses that figure this out early won't just be more visible. They'll be structurally harder to displace. That's what we're building toward: agency expertise and technology infrastructure, in a single system.
Humans
Need creativity, empathy, narrative — what good agencies have always delivered.
AI agents
Need structured data, clean infrastructure, and machine-readable catalogs — what most businesses haven't built at all.
One of our three co-founders is public. Two prefer to let the work speak for itself for now. That's a choice, not an absence.
Co-Founder & CPO
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 innovative marketing technology products at Cox Automotive, where he managed multi-million dollar monthly media programs across thousands of clients. He left to go full-time on Neural Partners in early 2026.
He's based in Vermont, which is not a coincidence.
Co-Founder — Agency & Commerce
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.
Co-Founder — Operations & Client Success
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.
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.
