ABOUT BEN SMITH
Director-level product leader who refuses to accept \"that\'s just how it works.\" That relentless curiosity? It uncovers breakthrough solutions. Like many telecom veterans, I\'ve adapted through industry consolidation by expanding from traditional connectivity into adjacent IoT markets - building automation, smart infrastructure, and connected devices. This cross-industry experience gives me unique insight into how connectivity technologies create value across different sectors and business models. I lead cross-functional teams to build and scale products that span connected devices, cloud platforms, and software integration. My experience combines product management and product operations, enabling seamless go-to-market execution, scalable delivery, and roadmap clarity. • Delivered successful outcomes for $1B+ hardware portfolios at Cox Communications over 16 years, from VoIP engineer to Director of Product.• Developed SaaS-enabled hardware and cloud-integrated platforms that improved reliability, reduced installation times, and supported faster product launches.• Successfully applied telecom-scale product expertise to building automation, MDU connectivity, and network infrastructure- My foundation supporting POS systems at Radiant evolved through managing $1B+ portfolios across commercial Wi-Fi gateways, B2B networking services, and IoT products at Cox, then expanded into MDU connectivity (Frontier) and building automation (Automated Logic). This strategic progression provides unique insight into connected technologies across diverse domains - from SMB deployments to instant MDU activation to modernizing building systems. Product Strategy | IoT Systems | SaaS-Enabled Devices | Product Operations | Cloud/API Integration | Agile Management | Go-to-Market Execution’ If you\'re building connected products that serve real-world users, especially companies expanding from hardware into software-enabled services, I\'d welcome the conversation.
