McKee previously was executive VP and GM of insider threat at cybersecurity firm Proofpoint. Before that, he was CEO of ObserveIT, a startup that Proofpoint acquired in 2019. Dotmatics itself was acquired by Insightful Science this year, and McKee will lead technology integration efforts stemming from that deal.
