Ariadne Smith Email & Phone Number

Hi, I’m Ariadne! I am a mechanical engineer by training, with 8+ years of progressive experience in product design, program management, operations, and product strategy. I am happiest when I am collaborating with others to use technology in an accessible way to improve people’s lives. I am an ENFJ and care deeply about the people I work with. I’m in my flow state when I’m thinking at the systems level - big picture integration, diving between technical details and commercial strategy.I started my career in engineering Apple, building a strong technical foundation that has and will continue to serve me in a variety of roles. My operations experience placed me in the center of engineering, quality, supply chain, and marketing, and I loved the cross-functional, integrative work that I was fortunate enough to do. At Carbon and Specialized, I used this foundation in product execution to move into strategy. I am now responsible for product strategy and execution of a new portfolio - Connected Products - at Specialized. My superpowers include falling asleep during movies and laughing at my own jokes. Outside of work, you can find me reading (non fiction), making podcast recommendations to people who didn’t ask, trying improv, or spending time outside, running and riding.

Listed skills include Engineering, Product Design, Mechanical Engineering, Product Development, and 13 others.
