Resume
Here’s a copy of my resume from 2008. Since then I’ve been running a software company, North Highland Partners where we build Flash and iPhone applications for brands and entrepreneurs. I’ve often been asked to summarize my background in a few sentences, e.g., for a conference presentation, a paper, or a presentation:
Scott Penberthy
CEO, North Highland Partners
Scott started programming shortly after the Apple ][e was released. His passion for writing computer games led to an MIT scholarship, where he embarked on an academic career earning four degrees in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. After finishing his PhD in the 90’s, Scott wrote the initial software for IBM’s web browser, web application servers, and hosting business. He rose the IBM corporate ladder, once working as the technical assistant to IBM CEO Lou Gerstner. Scott returned to his software roots in 2005 with the advent of Web 2.0, selling a consumer Internet company to News Corporation in 2007. Now a successful entrepreneur, Scott runs a software company outside New York that specializes in iPhone and Flash applications.
