About Guy Smith

I help connect people, processes, and data in a meaningful way — especially in the complex, ever-evolving world of environmental and civil consulting.With a background in geoscience and a focus on digital transformation, I’ve carved out a space at the intersection of technical systems, user experience, and long-term strategy. I work as part of a global team modernizing how we manage subsurface and environmental data, bridging gaps between legacy tools and future-ready platforms.Whether it’s rolling out a new configuration in OpenGround Cloud, mapping out system migrations, or making geoscience newsletters just a little more fun to read, I enjoy taking on messy, high-impact projects that improve how people work. I’m driven by the belief that better data management isn’t just about efficiency — it’s about real-world impact and end-user empathy (the espresso helps with the drive, too).
