About Kevin Smith

As a technology executive, I take a strategic view of tech capabilities—and how to most effectively leverage those capabilities to support explosive, exponential, YoY enterprise growth. I'm committed to delivering solutions that are robust, resilient, scalable, and highly secure. Whether I'm leading the development of superior cloud, hybrid, or traditional infrastructures, piloting the creation of end-to-end security policies, ensuring effective BC / DR strategies, or guiding the rapid integration of newly acquired entities, my goal is always to deliver clear, demonstrable business value. I'm also extremely serious about stewarding corporate resources to ensure maximum return on investment—while delivering best-in-class solutions. A key component in my success supporting enterprise growth and transformation has been my strong communication abilities. The leadership team and stakeholders throughout the enterprise know they can count on me to leverage my deep understanding of our business objectives—and knowledge of our current and future environment—to provide clear, targeted recommendations to help us accomplish our short- and long-term objectives. I leverage these same communicating and interpersonal skills to create and maintain positive, win / win vendor relationships that contain costs and deliver superior support and SLA achievement. In addition, I'm also skilled in supporting growth by acquisition—from initial due diligence through final seamless integration. I've built repeatable, clear integration plans that have enabled my team and I to integrate new entities at an extremely rapid rate—with no issues, downtime, or business interruption. Finally, my leadership style—based on coaching and mentoring my team members to continuously grow professionally—has delivered exceptional loyalty and talent retention—even during periods of extremely rapid corporate and team expansion.
