Scott Affleck is currently the VP of Product at Ratehub.ca, where he currently leads Product, Design and Analytics. Prior to Scott’s arrival 3 years ago, none of these functions existed, so much of his past 3 years building the team and establishing processes to support a business that has grown 3x in that time.
Scott is an avid lover of high-growth B2C & marketplace startups, and has spent over a decade working in Product in fintech, travel, and social media. Prior to his career in Product, Scott spent 6 years working in Corporate Strategy at Bain & Company and Bell Canada.
Scott has a very strong belief in the value of mentorship, especially in fields like Product where much of the training still comes on the job rather than through formal education. He loves helping team members identify their passions and goals, develop their own personal roadmap, and find opportunities to grow. Scott takes great pride in building highly effective and motivated teams that love coming to work every day.
