Scott Laing

“Scott is a phenomenal product leader and would be a great leader/addition for any product team. Scott is highly experienced and knows the "trade" of product management extremely well: product roadmap planning, scoping, prototyping, making design/engineering tradeoffs, bug triage, etc. Incredibly hard worker - you can throw a ton of things at him and he will get them done without complaint. Highly respected by the team, highly valued co-worker, great mentor to junior members on his team - people loved working with Scott. Makes smart, strategic decisions about product. Just super solid guy overall - I'd love to work with him again in the future!”

“Scott was a key member of my team at MapMyFitness and helped me tremendously as we grew the product into what it is today--Under Armour Record, a leading component of the Under Armour Connected Fitness lineup. He has grown alongside the app, and his successful transition from Mobile Product Manager at MapMyFitness to Director of Product for Under Armour Record mirrors his personal and professional growth beautifully. During the early years at MapMyFitness his experience building product and specifically mobile applications helped the MapMy suite of apps thrive. His ability to growth hack and monitor the metrics to drive features was second only to his basic product instincts for building great digital products. It was truly an honor to work with Scott at MapMyFitness and then Under Armour for all those years.”

“I worked with Scott intimately on Blacksite Area 51 and again later on an unannounced title from Midway Austin. On Blacksite it was pretty much left up to the two of us to tackle and complete an entire level for the game under a very tight deadline and limited resources. We pulled it off but I couldn't have done my job without him. An artist couldn't ask for a better designer to work with than Scott. He is amazing at what he does and people love to work with him. He is highly collaborative yet decisive, willing to adapt to new tools for level construction, thorough in his research, clever in his pacing of the action in the levels and campaigns he designs, and attentive to the emotional moments that are needed to convey story. He is a natural leader of his discipline and is well respected by his colleagues. I was delighted when I found out Scott was joining our team. I hope to continue working with him for many years to come.”

“Scott Laing is a great game designer. He's innovative, dedicated, and passionate about his work. And, best of all, he knows how to find the fun. So, when you combine all that with his strong technical background and his management and leadership skills and experience, you've got somebody you can count on to improve your game and your team on multiple levels. I strongly recommend Scott, and would love to work with him again.”

“Scott is a rare combination of incredible talent, leadership and humility. He was the Lead Campaign Designer for our team and as such was responsible for conceiving of both individual missions and the entire meta-game structure. He truly shined when running his team of designers. Leading by example, he was able to motivate and mentor a team of 8 designers. The designers he managed felt an incredible loyalty and respect for Scott, a great indication of his interpersonal skills and leadership. I would love to work with Scott again and can heartily recommend him.”
