Scott Lockhart Joins the ESS Team!

June 9th, 2008

As a result of ESS’ continued expansion and the growth in global adoption of our sustainability software platforms, ESS has hired Scott Lockhart as Chief Operating Officer. Scott will be responsible for executive oversight of ESS operations, as well as a member of our executive strategy council.

Scott has 15 years of experience in leveraging enterprise software for asset optimization, EHS and compliance with clients representing a variety of vertical industries, including oil and gas, electric utilities, chemicals, aviation, metals and pulp industries.

Scott comes to us from his previous position as Vice President and Executive Board Member of Data Systems & Solutions (DS&S), a division of Rolls Royce. He was focused on enterprise asset management and optimization, equipment health monitoring, process safety and compliance. In addition to business management and growth objectives on DS&S’ executive board, Scott was responsible for the operations, services and software groups. His previous experience also includes key leadership roles at Trinity Consultants and SAIC.

I have known Scott for many years and admired his proactive approach and success in connecting the dots between environmental, health & safety (EHS) and crisis management software and asset management and optimization information systems (EAM) to enhance enterprise-wide business performance and operational excellence. We both strongly believe that by more closely integrating these key information systems, organizations can identify and ensure common data work together to drive improved levels of EHS compliance while increasing reliability and performance of assets. This translates to increased availability of critical assets to improve both compliance and profitability. Reducing complexity and risk that is associated with disparate data silos within EHS and EAM information systems also ensures higher quality data is delivered to the other sources throughout the enterprise that rely on that information.

I am very excited to have Scott on board and look forward to his contribution toward our future growth and success.
