I believe work can be both purposeful and profitable. The systems we build…our companies, technologies, and cultures, should expand human potential, not limit it.

I’m Keri Tietjen Smith, a Human Systems and Reinvention Architect who helps CEOs and mission-driven teams design talent, story, and growth systems that align purpose, people, and profit. My work blends psychology, technology, and organizational design to help companies scale sustainably while staying human at the core.

My foundation is in psychology and organizational behavior, but my approach is shaped by many worlds. I’m an Integrative Health and Wellness Coach certified through Chopra and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and I’ve completed Brand Management and Marketing training through Cornell University. This mix of science, story, and systems allows me to bridge leadership strategy with holistic well-being, helping teams build clarity, adaptability, and genuine alignment between mission and culture.

Over the past decade, I’ve helped startups, federal agencies, and Fortune 50 companies rethink how they hire, grow, and evolve. I’ve built global recruiting systems for SaaS and AI organizations across North America, EMEA, and APJ, and led transformation projects in cloud infrastructure, ERP, CRM, HRIS, and hospitality technology.

I’m also the founder of The Wildfire Group and creator of the Spark Stories podcast, where I explore reinvention, resilience, and the intersection of technology and humanity. My writing and advisory work center on helping people navigate rapid change, recognize manipulation, and rebuild systems that work for humans, not against them.

As a former military spouse and global traveler who’s lived in nine countries and visited more than forty, I bring a cross-cultural, integrative perspective to every project. My goal is to help organizations and individuals grow with both strategy and soul, balancing innovation with empathy, and progress with purpose.
