Scott has supported the Mid-South region as both a consultant and interim Regional Vice President for PRA, and now formally steps into the role with a powerful blend of operational discipline, creative vision, and cross‑industry expertise. Her background spans hospitality, live events, entertainment, and high‑growth organizations, including leadership roles at Freeman, George P. Johnson, and multiple venture‑backed companies.

Her energy, curiosity, and commitment to excellence make her the ideal leader to guide the Mid-South into its next chapter. We are thrilled to have Sloane in this key role and look forward to much success together."

Scott's leadership style is rooted in curiosity, direct communication, and a strong focus on developing confident, capable teams. With experience building and scaling high‑performing organizations, spanning hospitality turnarounds, entertainment startups, and large‑scale agency environments, she is well positioned to reinforce PRA's national footprint and support continued growth in key markets, including Nashville, Atlanta, and Louisville.

"This is a region I know well, with long‑standing relationships across the business and community development ecosystem," said Scott. "I'm excited to step into this role and build on the strong momentum shaped by dedicated leadership and high‑performing teams across the Mid-South. My focus is on alignment, strong teams, and close collaboration with clients and regional partners to deliver experiences that create measurable impact. PRA has a well‑earned reputation for turning bold ideas into expertly executed programs, and I'm looking forward to helping shape what's next."
