AND … Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now part of everything I do.
With 20 years in the IT industry, I’ve built my career around solving problems, developing teams, and helping businesses navigate technology with clarity and confidence. I’ve worked across every layer of IT and connectivity, from infrastructure and cybersecurity to cloud and telecom, and I’m driven by a simple principle: always advocate for the customer.
In 2011, I co-founded INTELITECHS and helped lead it through more than a decade of growth before merging into Nexus IT. I remain a proud shareholder of Nexus and continue to support its long-term success.
In 2014, we founded INTELICOM with the vision of creating a better, more transparent way for businesses to evaluate internet and telecom services. After years of operating it as a secondary venture while building other companies, we are now dedicating our full-time leadership and focus to scaling INTELICOM.
As President & CFO, I lead our mission to simplify telecommunications for businesses. We act as a solutions facilitator reviewing current environments, comparing all carrier options, and guiding organizations toward the right mix of speed, reliability, redundancy, and cost. Because carriers pay us, our consulting and expertise come at no cost to our clients.
My passion has always been consistent: build great companies, create meaningful partnerships, and help organizations use technology to work smarter, operate more reliably, and grow stronger.
I am an entrepreneur, operator, and builder. With twenty years of experience in IT, telecom, and managed services, I specialize in creating operationally excellent companies and guiding leaders through growth and transformation.
I co-founded INTELITECHS in 2011 and helped drive its long-term success, culminating in a merger with Nexus IT in 2022. After serving as COO and Director of Operational Excellence, I stepped out of day-to-day operations in 2025 while continuing as a shareholder.
I am now focused on scaling INTELICOM, a telecom and internet solutions firm, and launching a consultancy that helps MSPs improve efficiency, strengthen service delivery, and build sustainable, profitable business models. My work combines entrepreneurship, operational strategy, and a deep commitment to elevating organizations and the people behind them.
With a lifelong passion for learning and innovation, I’m Scott Heffield, an executive leader with over 40 years in technology and consulting. I'm passionate about helping leaders create great companies.
My technology journey began at age 15 when I built my first computer and taught myself to code. Over my 30+ year career, in various roles—software development, engineering management, team coaching, and executive leadership—I’ve helped build companies, built world-class delivery teams and fostered strong customer relationships.
I'm a certified BOS-UP Implementation Coach. I also hold SAFe and CSM certifications. Personally I love Music, Formula One, Woodworking, and Fly Fishing.
Core Skills:
- Team Leadership and Coaching
- Business Operating Systems (BOS)
- Agile & CX Practices
- Solution Design & Product Development

Technical Product Manager leveraging linguistics & AI to build smarter products.

About Me:
ex-Google, ex-Visa partnerships and GTM leader with an MBA from Cornell. I'm relaunching the Silicon Slopes Neurodiversity Chapter to provide holistic, practical support for neurodivergent members, from career and founder support to executive function systems, community connection, and real-time problem solving.
What I'm working on:
In a high-velocity, high-interruption world, Context Switching is the new Smoking. It is the biological root cause of burnout, missed goals, and bad strategy.
Phossil is the "Exoskeleton for Executive Function." It creates a "Context Fabric" that holds your mental state together so you can recover instantly from interruptions.
I don’t just help companies catch up, I help them leap ahead.
As the founder of Cameo Labs, I work with high-growth leaders who are tired of quick fixes and want real transformation. From EdTech to SaaS, I help organizations ditch outdated playbooks, align their teams around a vision, and deliver products their customers actually want.
Let’s rethink innovation, so you can stop fighting yesterday’s battles and start leading tomorrow’s market.
Utah Tech Week is a smorgasbord of experiences and events hosted by startups, VC firms, community organizations — anyone who supports the startup community.
The “why” behind Utah Tech Week is to cultivate “happy collisions” in the Utah tech community; the kind that lead to friendships, partnerships, and deals.There’s no cost to attend or sponsor, the only requirement is a desire to help build Utah’s tech scene.
Since 2022, I've been hosting retreats and meditation classes focusing on spiritual connection, breathwork, the power of writing and processing, group discussion and authenticity, and discovering and defining core values, guiding principles, and purpose.
