Scott Painter is an entrepreneur with a particular focus on cars, direct-to-consumer businesses and technology â€“ creating businesses around big ideas where those three converge.

Currently he is founder and CEO of Zag (www.zag.com), co-founder of Pricelock (www.pricelock.com), and co-founder and board member of BrightHouse, Inc. (www.brighth.com).

He’s been an early stage entrepreneur in the online automotive retail sector, having introduced upfront pricing as founder and former CEO of CarsDirect.com and, now, taking the next step through Zag.

In a series of white papers available on www.zag.com, he makes his views about the current state of the auto industry known. In a nutshell: Now that the car has become a commodity and buyers have anonymous access to product information online, upfront, transparent new car pricing is the way of the future for auto retail.
