Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Smith is Red Hat's Chief Technology Officer for North America with over a decade of experience shaping enterprise IT strategy, security, and cloud modernization. He rose through technical and leadership ranks at Red Hat after nearly two decades in higher education IT, where he managed large multi‑platform teams and scaled identity and infrastructure services for 100,000 users. Known for blending hands‑on systems craft (self‑described "C slinger") with executive advising, he helps bridge CTO/CIO priorities and engineering execution across public/private cloud, containerization, and automation. Matt mentors solution architects, speaks to executive audiences on risk and modernization, and aligns product engineering with real customer needs. Based in Connecticut, he brings a practical background in identity and access management plus a continuing curiosity—recovering Rubyist and aspiring Rustacean—that keeps him close to code as well as strategy.
