Josh Smith

CEO

Josh Smith is Co-founder and CEO of Solovis. Since graduating Georgia Tech magna cum laude in 2007, Josh has spent his entire career in institutional finance and investment management. Out of college, Josh spent a little over a year with the Royal Bank of Canada in Atlanta, GA as a real estate investment banking top tier analyst helping to issue equity and dept as well as buyouts on behalf of many of the largest REITs and JVs in the market. In 2008, Josh joined Investure, LLC, one of the most prominent OCIOs in the institutional investing market. While there, Josh helped diligence investment decisions on behalf of the $10 billion portfolio run by a seasoned team of endowment and foundation professionals. During the financial crisis, Josh became responsible for creating a novel technology system and built an internal team of professionals to handle the technology and data needs of Investure. After leaving Investure in 2012, Josh began consulting as an independent consultant for family offices, endowments, and foundations. While performing his consulting work, Josh discovered the needs he helped fulfill at his previous firm were widely desired in the institutional investing community. In 2013, Josh co-founded Solovis, the first true multi-asset class portfolio management system for asset owners. Josh has helped grow Solovis as CEO since 2013 into an industry leading technology platform for the largest asset owners in the USA and internationally. In his spare time, Josh is an avid golfer, skier, and foodie and routinely spends time mentoring and helping guide local individuals who have created new startup companies.
