Randy Scott
Randy joined Garheng in starting HealthQuest in 2013. After a successful career as a MedTech entrepreneur, Randy switched careers to investing because he also saw the opportunities overlooked by investors and felt he could help innovative young businesses by applying the lessons he learned by leading similar companies. Randy brings to HealthQuest more than 24 years of industry experience (including 9 years of investment experience), and has served on the boards of HealthQuest portfolio companies VirMedica (now part of CareMetx), Springbuk, Magnolia Medical, Avizia (now part of AMWL) Trice Medical, Thirty Madison and 83bar.
Randy’s industry successes include starting NovaMin Technology, Inc. leading it through financing, growth and eventual acquisition by GlaxoSmithKline (at a 10x return on capital); a turn-around of USBiomaterials Corp’s bone-grafting business from perennial money-loser to a profitability (now NovaBone Products div of Halma PLC)); and a member of the early management team at LensCrafters as it emerged from start-up to market leader. These businesses each solved real problems for patients and users and those are the kind of opportunities Randy seeks as he thinks about opportunities at HealthQuest.
Randy graduated from Georgia Tech with a BS in Management Science. He spent the first half of his career in consumer products marketing, starting in brand management at Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati. In his spare time Randy enjoys backpacking and fly fishing.
