Scott Wagner

Scott Wagner is the President of the Connected Living Products team at Assurant. In partnership with the company’s Regional Business Leaders, he is responsible for leading the growth and profitability of the division’s full product portfolio which today produces ~$4 billion in revenue annually. In this role, Scott is leading dedicated teams focused on Product Strategy, Innovation, Development and Management for solutions such as Mobile and Connected Home Device Protection and Insurance, Device Diagnostic and Support Solutions, Device Trade-in and other Device Lifecycle Services. Scott’s roots are in finance, and he was one of the first members of the finance team at Sprint PCS when it began as a JV between Sprint, TCI, Cox and Comcast. He began in Corporate Finance but quickly transitioned to Finance Operations roles… and as a Divisional CFO built and led finance teams that supported most operating groups within the company. As the Divisional CFO for Sprint’s $20B Consumer Division, he led an amazing team of >400 finance professionals who worked tirelessly to help grow and optimize the operations. Scott co-founded HYLA Mobile in 2009 with a small group of fellow wireless industry veterans. At the time, U.S. consumers were upgrading their mobile devices every 18 months and casting aside their displaced devices into desk drawers and closets with many of them ending up in landfills. HYLA’s pioneering trade-in solution addressed this problem and has reclaimed >120 million cell phones and prevented over 6,500 tons of e-waste from being added to our landfills! He holds a B.S. in business finance from the University of Colorado and an M.B.A. from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. He has also completed executive programs at the Harvard Business School and the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. Scott and his wife Susan reside in Overland Park, Kansas and are the proud parents of two adult daughters.
