Scott Friesen

CEO

Verdant Frontiers

Scott is a serial entrepreneur with a 20-year record of venture growth and profitability, including three successful exits of US tech and media ventures. Rather than retiring, he started Verdant Frontiers in 2013 and plans to spend the “second half” of his life building enduring companies that unlock generational value—for investors, employees, and communities. To date, his team has launched 14 pan-African ventures with a combined value of $200M in the agricultural, real estate, and technology sectors. Scott says the best thing about him is that he is a child of God, beloved, saved by grace, and created to do good works. He is married to his best friend and raising three children.
