What the filing says
Scott R. Lovett, President of Go To Market at Fastly, signed a Transition and Separation Agreement effective October 30, 2026, agreeing to retire sometime during 2027 (exact date TBD by mutual agreement or upon successor appointment). During transition, Lovett continues earning base salary of $450,000/year plus commissions target of $450,000/year (total $900,000 annualized compensation). He holds 759,352 unvested RSU/PSU shares across multiple grant dates. Post-retirement, he becomes Senior Advisor through June 30, 2027 (extendable), receiving $450,000 base consulting fees plus commissions eligibility, with equity continuing to vest. Upon consulting period end, severance is one month's base salary (~$37,500) contingent on signing release. Fastly is conducting comprehensive CRO search; Lovett joined in August 2024 and drove 20%+ quarterly revenue growth.
Why this rating
Leadership transition of go-to-market head is ordinary for public SaaS; orderly 6-12 month transition reduces disruption risk. $900k annual comp is ~0.09% of $1B market cap; immaterial. However, Lovett demonstrated strong GTM performance (4 consecutive 20%+ revenue quarters), so succession execution risk exists but not immediate. Routine executive departure with structured continuity plan.
