Notre équipe

Scott started as an Investment Advisor at RBC Dominion Securities in 1994, following in his father’s footsteps. Consulting with families and getting to know their needs, values, and concerns allows Scott to help define their goals and apply strategies to achieve them.

Seeing his father making a positive difference for clients drew Scott to his financial industry career. After earning a Bachelor of Commerce from Queen’s University, Scott worked as an auditor for PwC. He then broadened his knowledge of business strategy with an MBA from York University. Scott applied his new skills to grow businesses in credit card processing and franchise development. Inspired to do more meaningful work and help entrepreneurs and families plan for and create their ideal financial futures, Scott became an Investment Advisor at RBC Dominion Securities.

Scott is married to Heather-Anne Irwin, a respected Adjunct Professor of Finance at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. They are proud of their three grown children and gather in Thornbury to cycle, golf, and ski. The Russell family cottage near Parry Sound is a special family retreat. 

Both Scott and his wife are involved in supporting the community. Heather-Anne serves as a Director of Up With Women, an organization dedicated to helping recently homeless women move beyond poverty. Scott has cycled with Jack Ride for over 10 years to raise funds for youth mental health. Scott's hockey group has been skating at the rink for over 25 years.
