We are thrilled to announce Asha Patel has joined SmartCo as a Client Support Consultant. Wishing you a warm welcome from the entire SmartCo team.

We sat down with Asha to ask her a few questions about her career path, her new role at SmartCo and what she’s most looking forward to about joining.

Hi Asha. What has been your career leading up to SmartCo?

I most recently worked as a Project Support Administrator in an IT Consultancy, where I provided analytical support for project activities, monitored performance, and documented and tracked key milestones to aid the successful delivery of projects. Additionally, I bring a strong background in education and entrepreneurial expertise, having successfully established and managed two businesses over the last 18 years.

What is your new role and key responsibilities?

My new role at SmartCo is Client Support Consultant where I’m responsible for tracking key project metrics and helping to ensure client satisfaction. I will be monitoring project progress with the aim to analyse and resolve client issues efficiently. I’m looking forward to helping the team as the company grows and the work ramps up.

What are you looking forward to most about being part of the team?

I’m really excited to join a team where collaboration and innovation are considered pivotal. I’m looking forward to working alongside the team sharing ideas and learning from one another. I’ve been genuinely amazed by how friendly everyone is, and the warm welcome has made me feel comfortable and at ease from day one.

What’s unique about SmartCo?

The atmosphere here is incredibly positive, and SmartCo genuinely care about everyone’s wellbeing. In the short time that I have been here it is obvious that this is a place where contributions are valued, and your personal growth is strongly encouraged. Everyone I spoke with before joining SmartCo had glowing feedback about the company’s culture, making it an incredible place to work.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I like to hit the gym and lift weights to de-stress. It’s like my personal therapy session, but with more sweat and less talking! It’s a great way for me to blow off steam and know I’m getting stronger. I still love being part of the social scene and having a good time with close friends and family – catching up over some tasty cocktails! I’ve also got a bit of an artsy side. I enjoy painting and even sold a few pieces recently. Turns out, people actually like my creative chaos!

SmartCo launches first white paper in new AI series

SmartCo has launched the first in a new white paper series exploring the real-world challenges and opportunities organisations face as AI adoption accelerates. The first paper, The Delivery Intelligence Gap: Why organisations are accumulating Delivery Intelligence Debt and how to close the gap with AI, examines how businesses can move beyond productivity gains and begin building the structured delivery intelligence needed for long-term success. The paper marks the start of a broader thought leadership series focused on enabling organisations to navigate AI. The series will look at the operational, delivery and governance questions leaders need to address if they want AI to create sustainable business value. Callum Campbell, Head of Clients & Growth at SmartCo, said: ‘This series is about helping organisations have a more practical conversation about AI. There is a lot of energy around the technology, but the real question is how that momentum translates into better decisions, stronger delivery and lasting organisational learning. We wanted to start by addressing one of the most important gaps we are seeing in the market.’ Callum Campbell, Head of Clients & Growth at SmartCo Sahar Khan, Transformation and AI expert in financial services added: ‘What matters now is not just whether teams are using AI, but whether they are using it in a way that improves how delivery is run, understood and governed. That is where many organisations still have work to do, and it is where this paper aims to offer a practical and experience-led perspective.’ Sahar Khan, Transformation and AI expert in financial services

Welcome to Ana Maria Olaru

We’re excited to announce Ana Maria Olaru has joined SmartCo as Managing Consultant. Wishing you a warm welcome from the entire SmartCo team. We sat down with Ana Maria to ask her a few questions about her career path, her new role at SmartCo and what she’s most looking forward to about joining. Hi Ana Maria. What has been your career leading up to SmartCo? I’ve spent the last ten years across both consulting and industry in luxury and CPR, specialising in business transformation. I’ve led big programmes and supported global brands on digital and data initiatives, usually in roles that sit where strategy, operations, and technology need to line up. My focus has always been on making change clearer, more practical, and easier for teams to deliver day to day. What is your new role and key responsibilities? I have joined SmartCo as a Managing Consultant, leading client work in CPR as well as working alongside the Business Development team to support them with growing across Consumer Products and Retail. SmartCo is on a big growth journey, so my role is a mix of guiding delivery, building strong client relationships, and helping shape where we go next as a team and company. What excites you most about this new chapter in your career? What excites me most is the people and the culture. SmartCo is collaborative, straightforward, and refreshingly free of ego or jargon, just teams focused on doing good work together. It also feels like a place where you can bring your whole self, which is when I do my best work. Being part of a growing business on an exciting journey is also a major plus, and that mix is what drew me in. What makes SmartCo stand out? SmartCo stands out for its clarity and pace. The team focuses on what genuinely matters for clients and keeps things moving without unnecessary complexity. There’s a sense of energy and purpose in the work that feels inspiring rather than overwhelming, and that combination of focus and momentum is something I really value. How do you like to spend your free time? Outside of work, I love travelling, discovering great food, and finding any excuse to end up at a festival. I’m a committed Liverpool supporter (emotionally exhausting), a Dallas Cowboys fan (also emotionally exhausting), and I follow Ferrari and Hamilton in F1 which, unsurprisingly these days, is also emotionally exhausting. Safe to say I’m a big fan of chaos. When I’m not doing any of that and trying to somehow find peace, I’m usually with my dog, deep into a TV binge or helping my partner on his golf journey!
