Scott Sullivan is the Founder and CEO of the Corps of Compassion (a 501(c)(3) charity), has presented to the United Nations on the topic of ‘personal achievement & making a significant impact’, and has received a Congressional Record of Honor for “unparalleled commitment to serving others”.

An entrepreneur from his very first venture into corporate America, Scott was only 28 years old when he and his brother founded a fleet management company that they built into a $110 million a year business.

Seven years later, the partners sold their company to a large international holding corporation, which left Scott in a position of financial freedom and the opportunity to continue to focus his time and energy on his life-long passion - empowering others to be successful and fulfilled in their own lives.

Scott is a successful personal and professional development coach and inspiring motivational speaker who uses lessons learned from his own success and his years of studying the success of others.

He has spoken in front of over 3,300 groups and corporations in the USA, Australia, Mexico, London, Europe and the Bahamas and worked with Anthony Robbins for many years as a National Trainer.

When confronted with the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 in his hometown of Baton Rouge, the first thing Scott Sullivan did was rally a team to get together whatever resources they could and see that it got to where it had to be in Louisiana - and in the process fed over 20,000 people in the first 60 days.

That was the beginning of Corps of Compassion. The grassroots organization quickly became an active and effective 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. The Corps filled a critical need helping displaced families from Louisiana who had relocated in Las Vegas by finding them shelter, food and clothes.

Using his own funds for start-up, Corps of Compassion was one of the first organizations to physically get water and supplies into New Orleans, working side by side with emergency workers and other volunteers to help victims. Scott lived in shelters with evacuees and began to try to fill as many of their needs as possible. Corps of Compassion helped tens of thousands of evacuees, first responders and citizens of New Orleans by creating a grassroots effort to bring immediate aid and information to them. Avoiding the red tape, Corps had assisted those affected by securing food, shelter, furnishings and jobs. Corps also helped to reunite families.

When his mission of helping displaced families was accomplished, Scott saw that there was another need in Las Vegas and began a new program to help the homeless and at-risk children that had been forgotten, have no family or simply are at-risk for a life of difficulty. It was at that time, Corps of Compassion made it their mission to give a ray of sunlight to these children. The Corps now delivers a basic necessity to these children that we all need in life - Food.

As a tribute to its efforts, Corps of Compassion was honored as the 2006 Best Community Service Organization by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
