Ed Pozzuoli

CEO, Tripp Scott, Fort Lauderdale

For more than 50 years, Tripp Scott has been serving communities, businesses and individuals at the local, state and national levels.

EDUCATION: University of Miami (BA, JD)

IF I WERE GOVERNOR: Continue to expand school choice. Florida leads the nation in school choice which improves academic outcomes for parents and families. Since Jeb Bush enacted the first charter school laws to the work of Ron DeSantis, Florida has lifted thousands of students and put parents in the driver’s seat for their children’s education.

MENTOR: I consider Bill Duke, who was a well-known attorney and chair of the Republican Party of Broward County, to be a mentor. He practiced law with honor and integrity, and he personally influenced me to strive toward those character traits both personally and professionally.

LISTENING: I would highly recommend Mike Rowe’s podcast that offers great economic insights and remind of us of the value of hard work.

INSPIRING FLORIDIANS: My parents, who taught me the importance of family and hard work.
