Brian Smith Email & Phone Number

Since joining Banyan Technology as CEO in May 2016, Brian Smith has quickly positioned the company to lead an industry revolution; displacing decades-old technology for live connectivity that helps shippers, brokers, and 3PLs boost efficiency and deliver permanent reductions in shipping costs. In his short time at the helm, Banyan has accelerated hiring across all departments, completed a full company rebrand, and secured $7 million in a recent equity funding and financing round.Before leading Banyan Technology, Smith was the President and Chief Operating Officer of Proforma printing and promotion solutions. At Proforma, Smith was instrumental in growing the company’s annual revenue from $40 million to $400 million over two decades. This proven track record of translating vision into result-oriented execution is why the Banyan Board of Directors first brought Smith on as a board member in early 2016 as CEO. Founded in 2001, Banyan Technology is a freight management software company that provides shippers, third-party logistics companies, and carriers with access to live data for rating, booking, and managing shipments. While this technology has revolutionized the shipping and freight management industry, growth over the past decade was organic and primarily thru word-of-mouth via Banyan’s satisfied customers. Since he took over, Smith has focused on creating the framework to substantially grow the organization, creating benefits and opportunities for customers, investors, and employees alike.
