Scott Munden's Professional Biography

Scott Munden is Founder and President of Portico Inc.; a firm that leverages his 30+ years experience working for High and Ultra-High-Net-Worth Families across the world. Portico Inc. places exemplary household staff in residences throughout North America and beyond.

 

Scott has experience both working in luxury residences as well as recruiting for luxury residence owners. That experience differentiates him from most other recruiters. His household management knowledge informs and supports his approach to recruiting. He is a true believer that recruiting can be taught, but private service is something that must be experienced. The combination of both is invaluable for both Clients and Candidates. Both can feel confident that, when  they speak with Scott, they are speaking with a seasoned professional who understands them. 

Scott is a passionate critical thinker who prefers action to inaction and holds firmly to the belief that in business it is important to “Do it. Try it and fix it.” He is a direct leader who thrives in direct communication environments.

 

His experience with C-level Executives and High as well as Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals, however, has taught him the value of tact, discretion, and diplomatic language and conduct. He is a refined and polished professional who believes what is on the outside can open doors, but it is what is happening inside that keeps them open. 

Prior to entering the Private Service field, Scott achieved his M.A. in History from Queen's University at Kingston. Subsequently, Scott pursued achievements in luxury hospitality, which continue to inform Portico Inc.'s offerings.
 

Finally, Scott is guided –- always –- by the principle that his relationships with clients, employers, candidates, and colleagues rest upon a foundation of trust and respect. Without the pillars of trust and respect, business relationships are transitory. Time is a luxury and he believes in building new associations and growing a business rather than backtracking to resurrect old relationships just to maintain a status quo.
