Liz Smith is a marketing specialist who comes from an engineering and manufacturing background. Prior to transitioning from engineering into marketing, she spent several years in manufacturing engineering and management positions at Eaton Aerospace. While managing engineers in the weld, braze, heat treat, bending and metal finish departments, she was focused on developing and implementing joining and fabrication processes using lean manufacturing principles for continuous improvement.

Liz earned a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Michigan State University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Weld Engineering from The Ohio State University.

Liz is a problem solver at heart, and is driven by metrics. She attributes much of her success in manufacturing to the fact that everything is so easily measurable “it allows you to constantly adjust your tactics based on what is or isn’t working”. At GrowthPoint, she takes this same approach to marketing. She understands the importance of processes, measurement and continuous improvement for every marketing strategy.
