Landon Atkinson - Vice President

Landon Atkinson is our Vice President here at GraySquare. He comes to us originally from Nashville, TN (or as he refers to it “The Great State of Tennessee). Over his career, he’s spent 8+ years in our industry, worked for some of the largest companies in the country, as well as founded a tech start-up outside of GraySquare that is still in operation today. He brought all of that diverse experience and perspective to become one of the founding members of GraySquare. He currently splits his time between our Boston and Philadelphia offices driving a number of our campaigns, growth, and recruiting initiatives. He has a clear goal and mission to make GraySquare “the fastest growing player in the space” in the coming years. He challenges anyone to out-work him along the way! Outside of work, his two primary passions are family and travel. We never know when or where Landon will pop up! He simply can’t sit still in the same city for more than a couple weeks. He encourages his managers to build great systems around them so they can take advantage of the possibilities of working remote and enjoying life to the fullest!

Jason “Jay” Scott - Business Development

Jason “Jay” Scott is a relationship builder and a sales aficionado bottled up into one person. Which is why his role as Business Development Director at GraySquare is so deserving. Coming from humble beginnings in Ewing, NJ he excelled in sports through his youth which is where he built his fundamental understanding of teamwork. Those skills were further refined during his military career in the United States Air Force. However, all of his business success has been built through nothing but sweat equity and hard work. Known as a bit of a “Renaissance Man” he’s worked on numerous brand ambassador campaigns building teams across multiple industries including tech startups, telecommunications, and energy. Now, Jay’s primary responsibility is seeking out new strategic partnerships all over the country. Whether that be partnering with independent business offices in emerging markets where we don’t have an organic team, or finding new corporate clients. Jay’s job is to make sure there is culture match with GraySquare. Jay attended Drexel University and now resides in Philadelphia, PA. Oh, and he is a DIE HARD Eagles fan..Go Birds!!!!
