A native of Northern Ireland, Andrew Scott has served as president and chief executive officer of OM USA since July, 2010. He originally joined Operation Mobilization in the late 1980s and worked aboard one of its ships, Doulos, for two years.

Upon returning home, Andrew completed studies in theology with a minor in youth ministry, then became associate pastor in one of Ireland’s largest Baptist churches. Andrew and his young family later returned to OM and served on the Doulos for another five years. During this time, he directed care and development initiatives for the team of approximately 300 international missionaries living on board. In 2002 Andrew moved to the United States to lead the recruitment at OM with a special focus on college students.
