Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Macdonald is a public safety technology entrepreneur and executive with over 25 years of hands-on experience building mission-critical systems for 9-1-1, law enforcement, fire, and EMS. As CEO and Co-Founder of GovWorx he now blends responsible AI, audio analysis, and CAD integration to automate coaching and performance insights for first responders, building on prior exits and leadership roles including selling CueHit to NEOGOV. He has repeatedly bridged product, engineering and sales—from leading Motorola’s PremierOne teams to steering product strategy at TriTech/CentralSquare—bringing deep domain knowledge and operational empathy from his time as a firefighter, EMT and dispatcher. Based in Denver, he also advises platforms for public safety workforce management and focuses on practical tech that eases understaffed agencies’ workloads. Scott’s technical roots (from BASIC and C to ASP.NET) and executive training at Yale SOM give him a rare mix of developer fluency and go-to-market leadership. He is motivated by measurable impact: improving outcomes for responders while turning complex operational data into usable coaching and oversight tools.
