Professional Journey

Smith worked in marketing at two of the largest orthopaedic and medical device manufacturers, as a marketing manager at Medtronic and at Zimmer Biomet. Those jobs put him inside the commercial problem AcuityMD was later built to solve: working out which surgeons and facilities are likely to adopt a new device, and helping sales and marketing teams agree on where to focus.

In 2019 he co-founded AcuityMD with Michael Monovoukas and Robert Coe. The company set out to open up medical device data, which is largely siloed, so that manufacturers could see which procedures are being performed, where, and by whom. His first title was Co-Founder and Head of Commercial Development. In that role he fronted the company’s guidance to device makers on launching products, including how to test and refine an ideal customer profile, how to use peer networks and existing product users, and how to align marketing and sales on physician targets.

AcuityMD has grown quickly. It raised $7 million in 2021, a $31 million Series A led by Redpoint Ventures in 2022, and a $45 million Series B in 2024. In April 2026 it announced an $80 million Series C led by StepStone Group, reported at a valuation of about $955 million, to build AI capabilities into the platform. It was named to Forbes’ 2025 list of Next Billion-Dollar Startups. The company’s leadership page now lists Smith as Co-Founder and VP of Customer Experience, responsible for the relationship with a customer base the company puts at more than 500 MedTech companies.
