Barrett Smith is a technology-focused business leader with 13+ years delivering data and digital experience platforms, now leading Data Analytics at Capital One. He has deep hands-on experience across web CMS, marketing automation, CDPs, DAMs and analytics pipelines, and has scaled and governed multi-regional remote teams at Acquia where he led delivery for CDP, Campaign Studio and Personalization. A certified Scrum Master and Product Owner fluent in ADKAR change management, Barrett combines executive presence with practical engineering chops in PHP/Drupal, SQL, Mongo, Python and DevOps automation. He contributes to open-source tooling (notably deployment and automation fixes in Acquia’s BLT) and is skilled at writing SOWs and RFP responses that translate technical complexity into clear commercial outcomes. Unusually for a senior manager, he pairs enterprise governance expertise with a developer’s eye for removing friction from tools and processes.
