WALTHAM, Mass. — Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), a provider of weapons detection security screening, announces the appointment of Mark Donohue to the position of chief financial officer, effective June 1, 2022.

Donohue will succeed Mario Ramos, who has accepted a role as CEO at a privately held financial services company. Evolv says Ramos will continue in his current role until May 31, 2022 to ensure a smooth transition.

Donohue will assume global responsibility for the company’s accounting, finance, treasury, risk compliance, information technology, supply chain, manufacturing and investor relations functions.

He joins Evolv from Vestmark, a leading financial technology provider of SaaS-based portfolio management and trading tools, where he has served as CFO since 2018.

“We’re excited to welcome Mark to the executive management team,” says Peter George, president and CEO of Evolv Technology. “Mark’s career has been shaped over 25 years of executive leadership at category leading technology companies across the SaaS, cybersecurity and networking markets. We believe his experience and leadership will be particularly important as we prepare for the next stage of our growth.”

Prior to joining Vestmark, Donohue served in several senior roles on the finance team of Rapid7, a leading provider of security analytics and automation, including vice president of finance. Before that, he spent seven years at Cisco, where he served as senior director, strategy, finance and business operations for the Mobility Business Group.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Evolv Technology, a leader in weapons detection security screening,” says Donohue. “Evolv provides industry-leading technology that is helping to solve the very important challenge of keeping the visiting public safe. I look forward to joining the team as we work to extend Evolv’s leadership position in one of the fastest growing markets across the technology industry.”

Earlier in his career, Donohue held various roles at IDC, Ferris Baker Watts, Teradyne and Quantum Corp. He earned an MBA and MSF from Boston College and a Bachelor’s Degree from The University of New Hampshire.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire leadership team, I would like to thank Mario for the valuable contributions he has made since joining the team,” adds George. “During Mario’s tenure we made important progress in the areas of people, systems, controls and technology which positions us well in our growth plans as a public company. We wish Mario well in his next chapter.”

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers.

When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
