Patrick Smith brings nearly two decades of engineering leadership to his role as Vice President of Technology at Arcus Power. Before joining, he spent nine years at Clari, where he built their flagship forecasting product from scratch and scaled engineering teams of 50+ across six development groups. His work there helped define the revenue intelligence category through AI-powered sales forecasting and pipeline risk analysis.
His roots are in aerospace, working on control systems, sonar, and satellite projects, and that applied math and systems thinking has carried through everything since, including his work in AI, ML, and time series modeling. He also held leadership roles at AdStar, Fortify (acquired by HP), and Upwork, building products and teams that served clients like Google and Facebook.
Patrick's reputation is built on blending technical depth with customer and business empathy, and a track record of building cultures where engineering excellence and product focus go hand in hand.
