Mr. Scotti, a native of Argentina, will step into the position at Verizon after previous stints overseeing marketing for print and digital brands at Conde Nast, including Vogue magazine, and as head of global advertising and brand management at American Express Co.Verizon this week became the last of the four major wireless carriers to join a round of price cuts and doubling of data allotments aimed at winning customers who are shopping for cheaper ways to watch more mobile video.
