Clif Smith, Ernst and Young LLP’s (EY) Americas Mindfulness Leader, is a US Army veteran and former diplomat and intelligence officer with over 25 years of experience successfully tackling defense, intelligence and business-related challenges.
Following his passion for developing others, he built EY’s Mindful Leadership program, delivering practical training to over 65,000 people, including EY professionals and clients, with measurable impact on performance, leadership and wellbeing.
Before devoting much of his time to creating and managing mindfulness programs, Clif led EY into a new market, winning multi-million dollar deals for the firm as an account leader in the Government and Public Sector practice. Immediately prior to joining EY, he managed diligence projects across several sectors including financial services, telecommunications, and government at private investment firm Granahan McCourt Capital (GMC). Prior to GMC, he was a Vice President at JP Morgan Chase where he helped create the firm’s first cyber threat and protective intelligence collection, reporting, and analysis policy and program.
Clif’s experience in the private sector is preceded by 17 years in the US Department of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency, and broader Intelligence Community, where he served as an intelligence officer managing and carrying out signals intelligence and clandestine and overt human intelligence collection operations around the globe including deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq.

We had a speaker cancel at the last-minute. Without missing a beat, The Keynote Curators offered several options to choose from. The replacement hit it out of the park. We avoided a potential disaster and looked good doing it. Thanks to The Keynote Curators.
