Scott Ko is a strategist, transformative executive, social entrepreneur, and philosopher who has carved out a unique career path across business, government, and NFPs.
His portfolio is comprised of an impressive array of competencies, from organisational strategy to leadership development, from innovation and entrepreneurship to social impact.
He takes a human-centered approach to leadership and systems thinking that has resulted in transformative outcomes wherever he has worked.
As the former ACEO / COO of Leadership Victoria – one of the most distinguished leadership organisations in Australia – he revitalised its vision, enhanced its business model, onboarded a new team, and steered the NFP from deficit to surplus.
As the Founder of ColourSpace, Australia’s first certified arts social enterprise, he created a startup that pioneered how human-centered work environments can be delivered at scale, by transforming shared environments into dynamic galleries.
In doing so, he has created hundreds of opportunities for local emerging artists and contributed over $200k to local artists and communities.
Today, Scott is passionate about one thing: Fostering greater curiosity in people. Against the backdrop of constant technological disruptions, polarised communities, and a growing wave of mental health challenges, he believes that curiosity is a fundamental, innate superpower that can help us navigate uncertainty with confidence.
