Campbell Scott, a 58-year-old Scottish businessman from Fife, has been found dead in Nairobi, Kenya, after going missing on February 16. Scott, a senior director at credit scoring company FICO, had been attending a conference at the JW Marriott Hotel in the city’s Westlands district when he was last seen by colleagues.
Local authorities confirmed the discovery of his body, and FICO expressed profound sorrow over the loss. A spokesperson for the company described Scott as an influential leader who played a key role in expanding the company’s international presence. “Campbell was a leader in our international Scores business… we mourn his passing and will miss his humour and kindness,” the statement said.
Scott, who studied at Woodmill High School in Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy Technical College, had worked for various companies before joining FICO in 2014. His employer added that their thoughts were with his family during this difficult time and requested privacy for them.
Police investigations into his disappearance were supported by Interpol, as authorities worked to uncover the circumstances of his death. The UK Foreign Office has been contacted for further details.
