Jeff Smith

Executive Business Lead, Maritime @ Solvus Global

About

My experience includes over thirty years of working in advanced technology industries leading multifunctional teams in concept generation, research, design, product development and new business capture. I have assembled large corporate teams to capture major programs of record for the U.S. Navy, as well as cutting edge R&D projects within DARPA and ONR. I have worked across the spectrum from large defense primes to small business start-ups. As a successful entrepreneur, I started an undersea robotics company in my kitchen funded initially on a credit card, brought in investors, managed a rapid product development, sales, and marketing strategy, and brought them to acquisition in 4 years. I am an avid scuba diver and underwater photographer and have a deep passion for ocean exploration.
