Scott Hackett brings extensive expertise in go-to-market (GTM) strategy, revenue operations, and private equity partnerships. With over a decade of experience partnering with C-suite executives and portfolio company leadership, he has advised on a wide range of growth initiatives—enhancing commercial effectiveness, unlocking new revenue opportunities, and delivering measurable impact across the value-creation lifecycle.
Hackett most recently served as Principal in the Private Equity Practice at SBI, The Growth Advisory, where he partnered with leading private equity firms and portfolio companies on GTM strategy, commercial diligence, and value-creation initiatives. In this capacity, he served as a trusted advisor on inbound GTM best-practice requests, led SBI’s Private Equity Help Desk—advising 250+ executives across 75+ portfolio companies—and completed 20+ due-diligence engagements with comprehensive financial modeling and strategic recommendations. His performance earned him SBI’s 2022 Full Potential Value Award.
Prior to SBI, Hackett held leadership roles in revenue operations and strategy at high-growth SaaS companies, including Zappi, where he helped redesign the sales process and organizational structure, resulting in a 40%+ increase, and Forrester Research, where he managed the annual $400 million quota-setting process and was selected for the Emerging Sales Leader Program. He began his career in professional services with KPMG and BerryDunn, developing deep financial acumen and client advisory skills.
Hackett’s combination of private equity expertise, revenue operations leadership, and finance background enables him to engage effectively with investment professionals, operating partners, and portfolio company executives. His ability to synthesize complex value propositions—and communicate them to both financial and operational stakeholders—positions him well to drive business development within the PE ecosystem.
