Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvan Smith is a strategic operator and events leader with nine years of experience translating ambiguity into clear programs and measurable outcomes, now leading Global Events for Project Kuiper at Amazon. His background blends public policy, government relations, and community-focused consulting—from managing political programs at Amazon to co-founding a racial equity consultancy and serving in the U.S. House—giving him rare fluency at the intersection of policy, stakeholder engagement, and program delivery. Based in Seattle, he pairs a Master of Science in Education from Johns Hopkins and a B.A. in Political Economy with hands-on experience designing high-impact initiatives across government, nonprofit, and corporate settings. Known for treating events as strategic platforms rather than logistics, he drives initiatives that align external partnerships, regulatory nuance, and operational scale. Outside work he experiments with private-side GitHub projects, signalling a pragmatic maker mentality alongside his policy and program expertise.
