Art Figueroa

Vice President of Operations and Quality, NA & EU

Challenging. Methodical. Fulfilling.

That’s how Art describes his role of managing Smith’s global distribution logistics, reverse logistics, anti-counterfeiting efforts, and corporate sustainability.

Currently, Art is focused on process improvement as it pertains to running our state-of-the-art operations hubs even more efficiently.

But it’s all in a day’s work for Art.

“Ultimately, at the end of the day, my goal is to walk out the door and be able to say ‘I gave it all I had, my team gave it all they had, and we gave it all for Smith,’” Art said.

Previously, he served as Director of Security and Facilities, overseeing the development of Smith’s quality management systems. Before joining Smith in 2004, Art was in management at Securitas, a security services provider, and at Questia. He received his BA in political science from the University of Houston in 1994 and is a member of TAPA AMERICAS.

Ultimately, at the end of the day, my goal is to walk out the door and be able to say ‘I gave it all I had, my team gave it all they had, and we gave it all for Smith.
