“Security is an increasingly critical topic in the boardrooms
and meeting rooms of every enterprise, from retail and health, to
finance, energy, and government—and with good reason,” said Michael
DeCesare, president at McAfee. “But security solutions must align
to the operational profile of each unique business or institution.
Scott brings a deep understanding of the challenges and
opportunities that come with addressing the urgent security needs
of the world’s largest and most diverse organizations.”
Lovett has served more than 20 years in senior sales positions
at top technology companies. He comes to McAfee from Cisco, where
he has held pivotal sales leadership positions in the Collaboration
Architecture, Enterprise, Public Sector, and Service Provider
organizations since 1994.
Most recently, Lovett served as Cisco’s vice president of
worldwide security sales where he defined and led the
organization’s go-to-market and route-to-market strategy for
Cisco’s security architecture. Responsibilities included working
with multiple business functions including Cisco’s engineering
development teams, customer advocacy, and numerous eco-system
partners to develop solutions for Cisco’s enterprise sales
organization and channel partners. Lovett was also a member of a
core team that led the acquisition and integration of Sourcefire
into Cisco’s sales processes.
Lovett is known for being a versatile leader with a passion for
growth. He is recognized as a strategic problem solver repeatedly
selected to adapt organizations to meet rapidly evolving business
needs, a key requirement in the security industry.
“The need to quickly spot and pre-empt advanced threats demands
that security be built into every device and every back-end system,
while enabling the technologies of tomorrow,” said Lovett. “To
ensure security is an enabler, we must help customers upgrade
overtaxed, obsolete infrastructures, from the endpoint to the
network, and change security from being an add-on afterthought to a
future-ready, strategic posture that is ubiquitous and
integrated.”
Prior to joining Cisco, Lovett held numerous technical and sales
roles at Lightstream Corporation, Memorex Telex and
Ungermann-Bass.
