✌️ Roland Smart

I build marketing machines (and teams) that drive growth, from startups through global enterprises. Sleeves fully rolled up when it comes to building production systems with AI. And I bring a founder's mindset, having built a company of my own in online education. Open to exec roles. The short version: At Product School, as CMO, I built a ~20-person team and drove 50%+ YoY growth through a private-equity round. At Pantheon, I drove category leadership in WebOps and 45% YoY growth to $50M ARR ahead of a $40M Series D. At Oracle, I led the global developer community (OTN) and the ACE advocacy program, tied to ~20% of won opportunities and up to 44% larger deals. About TheraHive: It's the largest online DBT skills-group program. I grew the company 50% YoY in 2024 and 2025 to a 25-person team, then hired a leader to run it. We've driven real business value with AI, including practice partners where students teach a virtual character the skill they just learned, an AI coach-supervision system that improved coach performance against a DBT adherence framework by 10–15%, and an in-house data and attribution platform that replaced paid services. No engineering team. I also advise Omega Point, where as interim CMO I implemented ABM, reworked pricing and packaging, and brought its AI service to market.
