Smith led Intuit's transformation from a North American desktop software company to a global, cloud-based product & platform company, proving himself as a leader capable of the necessary flexibility to thrive in today's tech landscape. By the conclusion of Smith's 11-year tenure as Intuit's CEO, he nearly doubled the company's revenue & increased its stock price more than 500%, while accumulating a robust list of annual Best Places to Work awards & accolades.

In 2018, Smith announced that he was leaving his CEO role at Intuit. Shortly after, he co-founded The Wing 2 Wing Foundation with his wife, Alys.
