Scott Loft is an industry veteran with more than 25 years of professional sports leadership experience in the National Football League, National Hockey League and National Basketball Association.

Loft joined the Thunder in 2010 after three seasons with the Miami Dolphins and is responsible for the Thunder’s overall strategy and tactics for all ticket sales, retention, database operations and business intelligence including season ticket sales, group ticket sales, executive suites and Club Level memberships. Loft’s sports career started with the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, where he spent nine seasons, culminating as the director of ticket sales. After his stint with the NBA, Loft became one of the first employees with the NHL’s expansion Nashville Predators, where his ticket sales team became the first NHL or NBA franchise to qualify for expansion by selling more than 12,000 season tickets before the NHL franchise was awarded to the city of Nashville.

After five seasons in the NHL, Loft joined the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars as executive director of ticket sales and marketing. Loft was chosen to be the Jaguars’ sole attendee at the inaugural NFL Management Program at Stanford during the 2003 season, and his five years in Jacksonville were highlighted by the local oversight of the ticketing functions for Super Bowl XXXIX, which was played in Jacksonville in 2005. Loft then continued his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, where he stayed until he joined the Thunder.

Prior to his career in sports, Loft received his undergraduate degree from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, and his master’s degree from Temple University in Philadelphia. Loft currently lives in Edmond with his wife Cathy and their son, Josh, a graduate of the University of Oklahoma who works in the oil and gas industry.
