Avalara’s Scott MacFarlane at the GeekWire Awards

geekwork1Earlier this month Avalara’s Scott McFarlane won CEO of the Year at the GeekWire Awards. “I might be the luckiest person on earth,” he said. “I have great investors and great Avalarians that bleed orange every single day. This is for you guys.”

McFarlane runs the sales tax automation software company and has a reputation for spicing up an otherwise mundane field.

In addition to the “endless summer” barbecues, island-themed parties, and some serious devotion to the color orangehe’s also led aggressive investment and acquisition initiatives that have allowed the company to expand quickly.
