ABOUT LARRY SMITH
I have led technology companies through hyper-growth to become market-leading, top-performing private and public companies.Many technology companies hit a point where growth stalls, leadership teams are stretched, and the company needs a clearer strategy to become a market leader.Today I work with CEOs and boards as part of the leadership team to solve leadership, strategy, and scaling challenges that affect company performance and enterprise value.I work hands-on with leadership teams to implement the playbook for growth. This includes strengthening leadership capability, strengthening board and leadership effectiveness, building sales and marketing engines, integrating AI into the business, achieving market leadership, and positioning companies to attract acquirors.Organizations I helped lead have been recognized among the top performers in the industry, including:• Profit 100 – Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies (4x)• Deloitte Technology Fast 50 (3x)• Deloitte North American Fast 500 (6x)• Canada’s Best Managed Companies• Canada’s Top 100 Employers• TSX 50 – Top Technology & Life Sciences Performers (2x)I work with a small number of CEOs and boards. If you are building a technology company with serious growth ambitions, feel free to reach out.
