 Vice
Admiral (VADM) Scott Redd is the Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer of NetSchools Corporation, a high
technology education company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
He retired from active military service in September 1998.
Since joining NetSchools in the spring of 1999, he has taken
an active leadership role in the rapidly growing education
technology sector.
NetSchools
was the first mover and remains the leader in one-to-one
e-learning. This revolutionary systems approach to technology
in education integrates the Internet, curriculum content,
state and local standards, teacher professional development
and infrastructure, including a laptop for every student.
Under his leadership, NetSchools has completed a business
model transition to focus on the software and services portion
of the total solution and has increased total revenues three-fold.
Additionally,
VADM Redd served as a member of the CEO Forum on Education
and Technology. The Forum was founded in the fall of 1996
to help ensure that America's schools effectively prepare
all students to be contributing citizens and productive
workers in the 21st Century. He is also a member of the
Georgia Tech Research Institute's External Advisory Council.
From
1994-1996, VADM Redd commanded all U.S. naval forces in
the Central Command theater of operations, including the
Persian Gulf. In 1995, he recommissioned the only new US
Navy Fleet in half a century, serving as the first Commander
FIFTH Fleet (COMFIFTHFLT) since the World War II era. During
this period, he commanded seven real world operations involving
Iraq, Iran and the withdrawal of United Nations forces from
Somalia. Earlier commands included an aircraft carrier battle
group, a multinational NATO force, a destroyer squadron,
and a guided missile destroyer.
His
last assignment on active duty was as Director of Strategic
Plans and Policy (DJ-5) on the Joint Staff. As the senior
strategy and policy advisor for the U. S. military, he guided
the development of a new National Military Strategy (NMS)
and the military strategy portion of the Secretary of Defense's
$1.5 trillion Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). Additionally,
as the military's "secretary of state," he was
one of three military officers (with the Chairman and Vice
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) who regularly attended
senior NSC meetings at the White House. These cabinet level
meetings addressed the broad range of politico-military
policy issues of the day, including Iraq, Iran, Bosnia,
Russia, Korea, China, Japan, Kosovo, Haiti and NATO. Previously,
he served as the senior strategy and policy advisor for
the U.S. Navy and as chief of staff to the Secretary of
Defense's senior civilian policy advisor in the Reagan and
first Bush administrations.
A
