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. Today it has more than 60 attorneys and more than 100 employees. Pozzuoli has been with Tripp Scott since 1999.

EDUCATION: University of Miami (BA, JD)

FIRST JOB: My first job, at 8 years old, was to put the Sunday newspaper together for a local grocery store. The Sunday newspaper was delivered in sections and had to be put together before it was sold. For years I woke up early (5:30 a.m.) Sunday morning and did my job. It taught me discipline and responsibility at an early age.

DREAM ALTERNATE CAREER: Center field for the New York Yankees or defenseman for the Florida Panthers.

SOMETHING SURPRISING: I was a gymnast — long ago.

NONPROFIT PASSION: The development and offering of educational choice options to parents is a passion. Education opportunity is the civil rights issue of the day. Education is a great equalizer and there is no better investment in the future of our community.
