After a year out as director of product development and operations at Gamut Interactive, a start-up interactive marketing and mobile commerce company he re-joined America West in 2000 and held various positions in financial planning and analysis, overseeing budgeting, forecasting, reporting and analysis. When the company merged with US Airways in 2005, he played a prominent role in the integration of the two companies’ financial management systems.

In 2007, he was promoted to managing director of corporate finance-treasury, leading all aspects of US Airways’ financing and cash management strategies, including raising capital to purchase the company’s fleet of aircraft. He held that job until accepting the position with Acme Lift in late 2011.

Acme president Steve Nadelman said: “Scott has had a stellar career, directing all aspects of financial strategies in companies ranging from start-up to Fortune 500. His broad wealth of knowledge and business acumen will be an invaluable asset as Acme Lift moves into its next phase of dynamic growth.”

Stewart added: “It will be a great fit here at Acme Lift, where I will get a chance to interact with all aspects of the organization and have the ability to grow with the company. It’s very exciting.”
