Scott J. Schweitzer, Chief Executive Officer

Scott Schweitzer is an entrepreneur, veteran advocate, and former finance executive who spent two decades in the financial industry before dedicating himself full-time to serving veterans and their families.

In 2019, Scott founded the Veteran Transparency & Accountability Fund (VTAF), where he serves as Chief Executive Officer. VTAF supports U.S. military veterans and their families facing financial hardship that cannot be immediately addressed by traditional Veterans Service Organizations. Through partnerships with established veteran-serving groups, the organization identifies those in need and provides grants that help restore stability.
Before leading VTAF, Scott helped build Fox Point Capital Management into a more than $1 billion long/short hedge fund as part of the Tiger “Cub” network. He later worked in private equity for more than four years before leaving finance to pursue his long-held mission of supporting veterans in a direct and meaningful way.

That mission first took shape in 2017, when he launched the Veterans Boxing Club, a free eight-week summer program for veterans of all ages that combined boxing instruction, strength training, and yoga. What began as a fitness initiative quickly became a community where veterans could rediscover purpose, identity, and camaraderie.

Scott’s commitment to this work is rooted in his own military service. He served four years in the United States Air Force, including assignments at the Space and Missile Systems Center in Los Angeles and in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, he worked alongside the Royal Saudi Air Force to coordinate logistical buildup efforts and held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance.

Scott earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later received his MBA from Harvard Business School.
