Latonya A. Smith
Founder | Technology Executive | Strategist
Latonya A. Smith is a Fortune 10 and Fortune 100 technology executive, strategist, and founder dedicated to helping leaders navigate complexity with clarity.
Over the past two decades, she has led enterprise technology and business transformation across Fortune 10 and 100 organizations, building operating models, modernizing technology platforms, and guiding organizations through large-scale change. Her work sits at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and execution—where bold ideas become measurable outcomes.
As the founder of The Smith League, Latonya created this platform from a simple belief: organizations do not outperform the quality of their thinking. Better decisions begin with clearer thinking, and clearer thinking begins with intentional leadership.
The Smith league is a platform for leaders who believe that success is built through disciplined thinking, intentional leadership, and continuous learning. Through articles, frameworks, and executive insights she is equipping executives, founders, and emerging leaders with practical perspectives to make better decisions, lead with confidence, and build organizations that endure.
Latonya also founded Lovely Candle Co., an eco-luxury candle brand rooted in craftsmanship and intentional design, reflecting her belief that excellence should be present in every experience, from the boardroom to the everyday moments at home.
She holds an MBA from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from the University of North Texas.
Her philosophy is simple:
Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about developing the clarity to ask better questions, make better decisions, and build what lasts.
