THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER
Scott Klososky has lived on the leading edge of technology innovation and its impact on the business world and society in general. He is recognized globally for his unique ability to accurately predict future digital trends and provide the logic behind why they will alter the current status quo.
Scott has the ability to entertain, inspire, and enlighten audiences while also translating difficult to understand technology topics. He is known for architecting each presentation specifically for the audience, and with the very latest information available.
His topics include the future of AI, building a winning AI strategy, leading with HUMALOGY®, cybersecurity, and digital wellbeing. He is equally adept at giving large stage keynotes, speaking to small boards of directors, facilitating half and full day workshops, and doing break out sessions. His topics often create many questions and he enjoys being interactive with audiences when appropriate. The best measure of his ability to inspire and inform audiences is the high percentage of speaking clients who bring him back for follow on work with their audiences.
EXPERIENCE
Scott is the founder of numerous successful technology startup companies, and this has helped him gain a unique perspective into technology’s impact on industry and humanity. He is not just an observer of digital trends, he has routinely invested in his future visions with a great track record of success. This unique perspective and future vision have allowed Scott to travel the globe as a speaker, consultant, and author.

As a technology entrepreneur, he also continually works in the trenches of building his own companies.

FPOV focuses on architecting world-class digital strategies, and in the process helps clients to raise revenue, lower costs and become leaders in their industry.
BACKGROUND
Scott began his career fresh out of high school, where his job in a new computer division of an office products company was springboard into the world of technology. He became the leaders of their computer sales division and then purchased it as his own company. It was eventually built into a twelve-store operation in three states.
His next endeavor was as founder and CEO of Paragraph, Inc., a Soviet/American joint venture founded in 1988, as this country was just opening up to western business models. Half of the company was sold to Silicon Graphics, and the other half sold as well a few years later.
Scott then collaborated with H.R. Haldeman to publish a diary of his years as the Chief of Staff to President Nixon, which was a bestseller (Putnam Publishing), and involved Sony Interactive in the release of a book companion CD-ROM.
In 1995, Scott started another company named Avant Digital Marketing which was later renamed Webcasts.com. This start-up was an early producer of webcasted media ranging from corporate and government communications to sporting events and entertainment. It was sold in 2000 for $115 million.
In 2007, Scott founded a start-up called Alkami Technology. This company developed a second-generation online banking platform with innovative features non-existent in current systems. In 2021, the company went public valued at $2.9 billion.
Along the way, Scott has participated as a board member with a number of firms. Examples include WeGoLook which sold in 2017 for approximately $40 million and First Fidelity Bank in Oklahoma and Phoenix. He is the author of four books including his most recent title, Did God Create the Internet? The Impact of Technology on Humanity.
