Meet SCS Indigenous Exceutive Team
Scott McCartney
Co-Founder
Scott McCartney, a proud Bunurong and Wotjobaluk man, truly embodies resilience, cultural pride, and visionary leadership. Despite facing early challenges, his sheer determination propelled him through his education and into a successful 17-year corporate career, even reaching a CEO position by the age of 28.
His leadership style, deeply anchored in cultural values, helped him navigate complex business landscapes. As the CEO of a prominent Indigenous Chamber since 2019, he significantly expanded its membership from 120 to over 570 businesses, always with a clear focus on building concrete economic pathways for Aboriginal people.
Scott's return to Melbourne highlights his dedication to family values, which are central to how he leads. Married for more than 24 years with four children, he passionately shows how cultural identity and corporate achievement can come together to inspire the generations to come.
