Carey Smith’s Path to Success: Engineering, IBM and Country Music

Carey Smith was introduced to engineering by her father, and after visiting a career fair, excelling in math and getting her start at IBM, she not only made a living supporting the defense and intelligence sectors through engineering, but rose to the executive ranks to do so.

Smith is the president and chief operating officer at Parsons Corp., where she has been since November 2016. She’s responsible for the company’s global profit and loss spanning its Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure segments, product management and operations support functions.

Growing up in Alliance, Ohio, what is computer engineering father was an engineering and sales executive for longstanding domestic manufacturer Morgan Engineering, and he always wanted his three children to become engineers.

When Smith was in junior high school, Morgan Engineering held a career day, so she and nine students went to hear about the company’s work.
