Scott Andersen has spent nearly three decades at the intersection of AI strategy, cloud platforms, and mission-critical network architecture. He is a Distinguished Architect at Verizon, where he advises federal agencies, including DHS, DoD, and the FAA, on AI strategy, Zero Trust, and infrastructure modernization. Earlier in his career, Scott held senior architect and strategy roles at Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Accenture, CSRA/GDIT, and CGI. Across those roles, he influenced more than seven billion dollars in revenue and led large-scale transformation programs for Fortune 100 and federal customers. He is one of roughly one hundred Microsoft Certified Architects worldwide and was the first global recipient of the CITA-P certification. Scott writes and speaks about the evolution of AI-integrated infrastructure. His published work explores how AI reshapes networks, the rise of the AI factory as an industrial-scale intelligence system, and the convergence of compute, energy, and transport into a single adaptive fabric. This book extends that thread with a practical field guide for leaders whose AI ambitions will rise or fall on the network's readiness beneath them. Scott lives in New Market, Maryland. He writes at docandersen. wordpress. com and advises clients through his Creative Technology & Innovation consulting group.
