Summary
Lindsey Smith is a Cloud Security Systems Engineer in Portland with 20 years of experience bridging software engineering, product management, and business development for security and infrastructure products. She brings a rare combination of hands-on engineering roots (C/C++ Windows development) and strategic product leadership, having driven major scalability wins and partner integrations at Puppet and Tripwire. At Puppet she led initiatives that produced 100x enterprise scalability improvements and a developer toolkit adopted by hundreds of modules, directly influencing deal size and go-to-market partnerships. Now at Palo Alto Networks she applies that product-first mindset to cloud security systems, focusing on pragmatic, collaborative delivery across engineering, sales, and partners. Known as a self-starting doer, she consistently turns customer insight into measurable revenue and product differentiation. Her background in both technical implementation and executive-facing sales enablement gives her a practical edge in shipping secure, scalable systems that customers and field teams trust.
