Scott Gingold

I’ve spent much of my career walking into businesses when something isn’t working, getting to the heart of the problem, and helping people move forward.

Along the way, I’ve built and exited seven companies across very different industries, including market research, IT and cybersecurity, logistics, media, venture collaboration, mergers and acquisitions, and consulting. I’ve also led three other organizations with seven- and eight-figure annual revenues. That range of experience has taught me that the problem everyone is talking about is rarely the whole problem.

Today, I’m Chief Operating Officer of Ovadia Heart Health and iFixHearts. We have an ambitious mission: prevent one million heart attacks. My job is to help build the team, systems, and follow-through we need to serve patients well and deliver on that mission as we grow.

Before taking on this role, I worked closely with business owners and leaders through Gingold Advisors, where I’m now Chairman Emeritus. Whether I’ve worked with a founder or an executive team, I brought the same approach: listen carefully, ask direct questions, tell the truth as I see it, and help people decide what to do next.

My path has also included coaching Division I college soccer and hosting the syndicated radio show Business 101 with Scott Gingold. Both gave me a deeper appreciation for people, leadership, and what it takes to perform when the pressure is on.

The most important part of my life is my family. I’ve been married for more than four decades, and I’m a proud husband, father, and grandfather.

Service matters to me, too. I’ve worked with more than 75 nonprofit organizations in roles ranging from volunteer to board officer and acting executive director, and I continue to support causes I care about.
