Solifi, a global provider of secured finance software solutions, appointed Kevin Smith as chief legal officer (CLO). In this role, Smith will manage global legal strategy, corporate governance, regulatory compliance and risk management.
Smith brings more than 25 years of experience as a trusted advisor to high-growth and global technology companies on complex and strategic matters across transactions, governance, risk and compliance. He joins Solifi from JAGGAER, a global company in enterprise procurement and supplier collaboration, where he served as general counsel and led global legal operations and compliance.
Prior to JAGGAER, Smith held senior legal leadership roles at Red Hat, including through the company’s acquisition by IBM. Earlier in his career, he practiced corporate law at WilmerHale.
“Kevin is a proven legal leader who combines strategic business judgment with deep transactional and governance expertise,” Dan Corazzi, CEO of Solifi, said. “His experience guiding complex global organizations through growth, transformation and private equity transitions will be instrumental as Solifi continues to scale and strengthen our position as the trusted partner in secured finance.”
Smith said, “Solifi built a strong foundation as a global technology partner in secured finance. I look forward to helping the company scale responsibly, navigate complexity and support its next phase of growth.”
