Scot Westwater is the AI strategist companies turn to when theory has failed and systems need to ship. As Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Pragmatic Digital, he specializes in turning AI ambition into usable, scalable experiences that drive growth.
Before AI became the buzzword, Scot spent over 20 years building digital platforms for top brands like Similac, Pediasure, Pedialyte, Pfizer, and Abbvie. As UX lead at Intouch and creative lead at agencies like FCB Chicago, he led teams that transformed customer journeys through research, architecture, and end-to-end execution.
Scot’s approach is grounded in reality: he’s built it all—apps, voice interfaces, internal portals, and creative workflows. That legacy makes him uniquely equipped to guide teams from PowerPoint to prototype, aligning technical, operational, and brand considerations into one coherent system.
Scot sees AI as more than just automation—it’s a new layer of customer experience. His work connects data, content, and workflows into intelligent systems that anticipate needs, scale personalization, and empower frontline teams.
