Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Wednesday, August 6th, 2025

Avalon Action Alliance, a national nonprofit dedicated to providing life-

changing care for veterans and first responders affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic

stress (PTS), and substance use challenges, is proud to welcome Scott A. Beaumont to its Board of

Directors.

Scott is the co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer of Lilly Pulitzer®, a women’s fashion brand

he led from 1993 to 2016. Before joining Lilly Pulitzer, Scott served as Executive Vice President and

General Manager of The Eagle’s Eye, another women’s fashion brand. Earlier in his career, he worked in

general management consulting with Touche Ross.

A seasoned executive with decades of leadership across both for-profit and nonprofit sectors, Scott

currently serves as Chair of Nth Round, Inc., a technology platform focused on shareholder

engagement and liquidity for private companies. He also serves on the board of Operation Warm, a

nonprofit that delivers new winter coats to over one million children annually.

His previous board experience includes serving as Chair of the Finance Committee, co-founder of The

Chester Charter Scholars Academy, Director of Burch Barrel LLC, and board member of CSS

Industries, Inc., where he served on the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance

Committee. He also served for a decade as the Director of The Gesu School, a Jesuit K–8 school in

Philadelphia.

Scott’s commitment to Avalon’s mission is deeply personal. His family’s journey includes the

heartbreaking loss of his son, a combat veteran who struggled with the invisible wounds of war. That

experience fuels his passion to ensure others find the support his son could not. Through his role on

the board, Scott is dedicated to helping Avalon reach more individuals in need with the kind of

compassionate, integrated care that saves lives and drives lasting change.

Scott joins a distinguished Board of Directors whose leadership, expertise, and commitment to our

mission ensure we walk beside the warriors and families who deserve healing, transformation, and a

true homecoming.
