Scott DeRue: The IRONMAN Group CEO

Powered by RedCircle


It’s not every day you meet someone who has stood on the highest peak of every
continent and now leads one of the world’s most iconic endurance brands. In this
episode of Without Compromise, we sit down with Scott DeRue, CEO of The
IRONMAN Group, to talk about the journey that brought him from academia to the
forefront of global endurance sport.

Now, as CEO, Scott is steering IRONMAN into the future while honoring its rich legacy.
He shares what he’s learned from standing at finish lines around the world, how the
IRONMAN ethos of “Anything Is Possible” applies to both athletes and everyday people,
and what excites him about the movement’s next chapter. Outside of his role, Scott is
an avid mountaineer, having completed the Seven Summits earlier this year. 

Athletic Brewing and IRONMAN have partnered for years, built on a shared
belief that balance, resilience, and community matter as much as performance.
Together, they’re helping athletes celebrate their pursuits, without compromise.
