About Mark Smith

Mark Smith is Chief Technology Officer at UOVO. Location: New York, New York, United States.

Chief Technology Officer with over 25 years leading enterprise IT strategy, digital transformation, and technology operations for luxury, cultural, and media organizations. I run technology as a business function — owning budget, vendor relationships, infrastructure, and risk — and lead through business alignment, program management, and delivery accountability rather than hands-on engineering. Currently CTO at UOVO, directing enterprise technology strategy, AI adoption, and vendor partnerships across the company's Art, Fashion, and Wine divisions. Previously CTO at Hauser & Wirth and VP of IT at BMG Music, where I built and led globally distributed technology teams of 30–40+, modernized core ERP and infrastructure systems, and managed multimillion-dollar technology budgets while cutting costs and improving service levels.
