D Smith is a Tree-hugging city dweller pursuing a better world by working at the intersection of natural, built, and digital systems. at Green Field Works. Colleagues describe them as "I’ve always felt lucky to have had the opportunity to work for Delia Smith. In my experience, few managers have the ability to be coach, mentor and strategic business leader, but Delia does. I reported to Delia as a Marketing Support Specialist while she headed the Sales and Marketing division at Dispersive (Virtual Networks). I was impressed by Delia’s ability to create a collaborative team environment within Sales and Marketing while also maintaining close cooperation across other business units at the fast-moving software startup. This was particularly challenging given team members worked remotely from different parts of the country.  As a team leader, Delia would be an added asset to any company." and "I have had the opportunity to work very closely with Delia Smith for capture and proposal on a number of multi-million $ DoD opportunities for multiple companies since 2015. Our successful capture of those pursuits was largely due to her expert ability to ensure alignment of our solution with customer need, and her diligence and attention to detail in ensuring that our proposal response met and exceeded all technical and administrative requirements of a given RFP. Whether we were responding as a prime or sub, Delia effectively identified and assembled the right team members (both large and small) to join our team, or was able to optimize the scope and scale of our engagement as a subcontractor as appropriate and negotiate mutually beneficial teaming agreements. Her exceptional technical, business, and interpersonal skills were critical in ensuring our success. She is a great leader and team player, and a pleasure to work with---an incredible asset to any team!"
