About Ian Smith
I build world-class teams by identifying the biggest levers, hiring smart and kind people to execute those roles, and motivating and growing them to be the best at what they do. I focus on long-term sustainable results and outcome delivery, with a relentless pursuit for the right balance of strategic and tactical execution, typically working directly with the CEO as trusted advisor and organization-wide operator.My specialization is in B2B startups that build and sell complex SaaS products for engineering organizations. As an IC, manager and executive I have sold and supported tens of millions in revenue from logos ranging from innovative startups through to the Fortune 50. My ability to identify potential winners and contribute to their success is objectively top tier - all previous five companies I have joined have had outsized exits across acquisition and IPO, with highlights including a $3.35bn exit and a 70x multiplier exit.
