AEVA's team has worked in aesthetics for more than a decade. His story ## From a hiring platform to med spa growth - [LinkedIn (opens in a new tab)](https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-kera-4a31779) - [Crunchbase (opens in a new tab)](https://www.crunchbase.com/person/scott-kera) Scott started the online hiring platform CandidateBroker in his early 20s, then sold it to DataViz in 2014. Next came Zwivel, a virtual consult platform for plastic surgery. As COO he built it from an idea into a product, revenue and a platform that over 1 million patients a month visited (founder-reported). The New York Times covered Zwivel in a July 2016 business feature, with Scott named and in the photo. Along the way he learned SEO, websites, content, ads, funnels, automations, data and design, mostly by doing each job himself. Scott got into machine learning and AI before GPT-4, back when the tools were pretty primitive. He was convinced it was the only way a business would scale in the future. So he spent a nauseating number of hours each day trying to get it to work (he says he was addicted). Jeff and Justin joined in, and it took years and many versions to get the system right. Scott co-founded AEVA Digital in 2021 with [Jeff Woodrow](/about/jeff-woodrow), and [Justin Gottlieb](/about/justin-gottlieb) joined in 2022. As Co-founder and CEO, he leads AEVA's AI and growth services team, and he tests the leading models. Jeff runs the platform dev team that builds Practice OS.
