TYLER SMITH
SLALOM CONSULTING
TITLE: Client Service Partner
AWARD CATEGORY: Client Service
AGE: 32
Slalom's Tyler Smith is an expert at assembling highly effective teams across practices to get clients what they need. And he isn't shy about letting clients know when another provider might be better suited to the work. It's this honesty and transparency that makes clients notice and praise Smith, and part of what vaulted him to a position on the firm's exclusive Senior Leadership Team so early in his career.
Smith says that distinction is one of his proudest moments in his 10- year consulting career, in addition to building a portfolio of business in the Technology and Financial Services industries and growing a team around him that share his passion for the business.
In his time at the firm, Smith has built up a portfolio of business that has him managing more than $12 million in revenue, all of which was generated under his direct leadership. For his success, Smith says the thanks goes to his mentors and coaches for supporting and challenging him. "I love the challenge of tackling something new on my own, but I certainly have not made it to this point in my career without the help of others."
As part of a generation so often bored with the same-old, same-old, Smith says it's the variety of challenges in the profession that keeps him coming back for more.
"My excitement comes from waking up every day to a new challenge. It is the variety of this work and the opportunity that comes along with it that fuels my passion," he says.
Smith says that he is proud and humbled by the Rising Stars Award, and is well aware of the heightened expectations that come with it.
"I feel humbled, but also motivated knowing I have a high standard to maintain."
