About Kelly Smith

Seasoned Googler (17+ years at Alphabet), working across a variety of product areas, verticals and teams; I am incredibly proud of the work my teams have produced, as well as the leader I have become. A few highlights- A go-to for storytelling, crafting compelling narratives with insights-driven strategies, resulting in strong partnerships and driving impact for our customers - Passionate about DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging) and am so encouraged by my various mentor/mentee relationships - Chasing the symbiotic relationship of both art and science in closing a deal never gets old - Cross-functional collaborations are my favorite kind of projects; filled with complexity, rife with possible challenges and requiring coordinated execution of efforts - No matter how much I think I know, there is always more to learn. I am so thankful and appreciative of those who continue to guide me, provide thoughtful feedback and push me to be my absolute best My career at Google spans across Google Cloud, Waze, and our Global Business Sales organization. Prior to Google, I lived the glamorous life of an ad agency account manager, working at both large and small, boutique agencies cutting my teeth with some of the best (and toughest) clients out there.
