BIO
Scott Anderson, President
High Country Hospitality
Anderson most recently served as President and CEO of Denver-based SWAN Inc., a global provider of integrated e-business and management solutions to hotels. He resigned in February 2002, following the company's decision to realign its operations to take best advantage of current market conditions.

Prior to joining SWAN, Anderson served as executive vice president, Internet, travel division for the Cendant Internet Group, or CIG, where he directed the company's convergence strategy for merging its off-line and online businesses. He was also the driving force behind Cendant's "Project Power Up," which involved the installation of property management systems, Intranet connections and direct marketing tools in more than 6,000 Cendant hotels. Anderson also held the position of executive vice president sales and marketing of the Cendant Corporation.

His diverse career accomplishments also include serving as president and general manager of the world-renowned Hotel del Coronado in California and president and CEO of the Ida Cason Callaway Foundation and Callaway Gardens Resort.

Prior to joining Cendant, Anderson was the managing director of games services for the 1996 Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG). Under his direction, which drew international attention, ACOG sold more tickets than for the Barcelona and Los Angeles games combined, and he was also responsible for accommodations, food and beverage, marketing, merchandising, spectator services and venue entertainment.
