Steve Smith

Steve is the Global SVP of Modernization & Platforms at Equal Experts. With over 20 years of experience in digital delivery programmes, he advises engineering leaders in large enterprise organizations on how to transform delivery, operations, and culture at scale.

Steve focuses on adopting aligned autonomy and modern engineering practices, so teams can understand the big picture while accelerating in speed, quality, and reliability. He combines people, processes, and tools into the technology capabilities needed to minimize time to value and total cost of ownership.

Steve has led numerous complex transformations. He established platform engineering and continuous delivery for 80 teams/1000 microservices in a £500M UK government department. He introduced paved roads and the You Build It You Run It model into 40 teams/100 microservices for a £10B UK retailer. And he advised a $9B US media conglomerate on integrating reliability engineering into 40 teams/120 microservices for a greenfield streaming platform.

Steve is an industry thought leader on modern engineering topics such as Continuous Delivery, platform engineering, the Accelerate metrics, and You Build It You Run It. He's a regular conference speaker, a presenter on the Modern Software Engineering channel, and wrote the books Measuring Continuous Delivery and Build Quality In. He's also a co-organizer of Agile On The Beach, a technology conference in Cornwall since 2011.
