About Scotty Reiss

Journalist, entrepreneur and mom, Scotty is an expert on new cars, family cars, 3-row SUVs, child passenger car seats. She shares stories on automotive careers and culture on her social channels, LinkedIn and the What Drives Her podcast. A World Car Awards juror, Scotty likes to say the automotive business found her, rather than her finding it. But recognizing the opportunity to give voice to powerful female consumers and create a voice to match their spending power, her mission became to empower women as car buyers and owners. A career-long journalist, she has written for the New York Times, Town & Country, Adweek and co-authored the book Stew Leonard, My Story, a biography of the founder of the iconic grocery company Stew Leonard’s. Her love of cars started when her father insisted she learn to change the oil in her vintage MG, but now it mostly plays out in the many road trips taken with her family.
