Lia Smith
At the heart of Smith & Welch is a belief grounded in experience: every successful project begins with one critical step-strategic intake.
My journey began with a simple yet powerful observation: what you choose to include at the start of a project can determine its outcome. This insight, gained across diverse enterprises and departments, become the cornerstone of a career identified by results.
My methodology breakthrough didn't just solve a problem-it opened the door to larger contracts, greater influence, and a path straight to the C-Suite, where leadership and innovation continue to thrive.
Today, I stand as one of fewer than 100 professionals globally to hold all of the following certifications: PMP, CGEIT, SPC SAFe, RTE SAFe, Advanced Scrum Master SAFe, Scrum Master SAFe, Scrum Master Scrum Alliance, Certified Agile Leader Scrum Alliance, AgilityHealth Facilitator and ICAgile Certified Coach. This unmatched expertise in Agile, governance, and enterprise transformation underscores every solution Smith & Welch delivers.
Beyond professional excellence, my story is also one of personal triumph-rising from the challenge of adult poverty to build a career as an Agile leader.
