Paul Anderson, Principal & CEO of Workhouse Media, is ushering in a major leadership shift for one of the Pacific Northwest’s fastest-growing service companies. Scott McCarthy, currently President of Workhouse Sports, has been named Chief Executive Officer of SealX, LLC, effective December 15. Anderson serves as Executive Chairman of the SealX Board, which unanimously approved the move.
McCarthy will relocate from Los Angeles to Washington State while remaining a special adviser for sports with Workhouse Media. He joined the company officially in February 2024.
Scott’s resume brings an unusually broad blend of finance and media experience to the operation. After seven years in investment banking and venture capital, McCarthy spent 25+ years across audio, television, print, gaming, and digital — most notably a 12-year run at ESPN, where he last served as Vice President, ESPN Audio. His academic pedigree includes an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA from Colorado College. He also studied at the London School of Economics and the University of Chicago.
Anderson said McCarthy’s arrival is the product of a long-building vision. “What started with an Uber ride ten years ago and developed into a business partnership with Jaz Singh, Gurpreet Singh, and Sonia Kaur is now SealX,” he said. “Today, SealX employs nearly 200 people, continues to experience rapid, double-digit growth with strong EBITDA, and has developed a smart strategic vision for explosive growth. The board of directors recently determined that it was time to hire a CEO to help us achieve our vision, and we are confident that Scott will do an outstanding job of executing our strategic plan and leading our next phase of growth and beyond.”
McCarthy called the opportunity both humbling and energizing. “I could not be more excited or honored to join SealX as its CEO,” he said. “I am very grateful to Paul, Jaz, Gurpreet and Sonia for this amazing opportunity. What they have already built at SealX is the very definition of the American dream. I look forward to helping the SealX team expand aggressively over the coming years.”
SealX operates as a high-tech, high-touch commercial cleaning enterprise serving government, healthcare, retail, corporate, fulfillment, senior living, and education clients. Workhouse Media continues to represent premium audio-first and visual storytellers across major media hubs nationwide.
