Scott grew up in South Africa and Australia — she keeps a large collection of wines from both countries — and has lived in Los Angeles for the last decade. “What brought me here was McKinsey,” she said, “but in part I chose Los Angeles because I sail, and you can sail year round. That was the unprofessional reason to come.” Read more about her below.
