Scott Mathews is Editor-in-Chief for all publications by Best Weather, Inc. In addition, he serves as a consultant and advisor to the company’s founder and owner, Jim Roemer.

As a veteran in the commodity futures industry, Scott’s career has taken him from learning the business on Continental Grain’s New York trading floor and later co-directing Citicorp’s entry into the energy commodity business in the bank’s brokerage subsidiary Citicorp Futures Corporation. 

As an early participant in the weather derivatives market, Scott consulted and advised the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in designing and launching the first weather-indexed futures contracts for temperature, precipitation, and hurricanes. For nine years, he produced “Weather to Buy or Sell,” a feature that appeared in the weekly edition of The Wall Street Journal. This “infomercial” covered the CME weather futures activity.
