Parker believes that embracing the wisdom of mistakes can refine the path to success.

As Vice President of Data Center Services, Parker leads Smith’s data center service programs and oversees business initiatives focused on sustainability and circular-economy principles.

“From our global ISO 14001 certification to our ongoing collaborations with other technology innovators via the Circular Drive Initiative and Open Compute Project, sustainability has been a core tenet of Smith’s operational initiatives for many years,” said Parker. “I am committed to amplifying our efforts with custom programs and effective, long-term solutions that support our customers’ sustainability goals.”

Parker started his career at Smith in 2002 as an International Account Representative. Six years later, he was named General Manager of Smith’s Amsterdam office. He returned to our global headquarters in Houston as Senior Account Manager in 2010, then went on to serve as Trading Manager and Senior Account Executive—earning numerous recognitions as a top-level trader—before stepping into his current role in 2025.

When he’s not building relationships and securing major deals, Parker enjoys camping with his wife and two daughters.
