Scott Lovett

Cloud infrastructure provider Akamai helps keep numerous leading websites and popular online services up and running with its “Intelligent Edge” technology platform — even if they’re flooded with traffic or bots. As senior vice president of global web sales since April 2018, Lovett’s job is to bring that platform to market and to show potential clients just how valuable it is to their operations. He’s more than up to the challenge, having spent five years at cybersecurity firm McAfee, and almost 20 years at Cisco. At the time of his hiring at Akamai, reputable tech publication The Information wrote that “Lovett’s hiring is a big win for Akamai, which has been trying to reposition itself as a security business, rather than a web content delivery business.”
