Partner & Director of Business Operations

Lia Smith

Business Operations • Project Coordination • Vendor Management • Process Improvement • Administrative Strategy • Client Coordination

Lia Smith is Partner and Director of Business Operations at AtlasCore Consulting, where she helps oversee business operations, administrative strategy, client coordination, vendor relationships, internal processes, and organizational planning.

With more than a decade of experience supporting executive leadership and managing operations across government and private-sector organizations, Lia brings a strong background in business administration, project coordination, process improvement, financial reconciliation, vendor management, and cross-functional collaboration.

Prior to AtlasCore, Lia supported leadership within Fairfax County Government, including the Fairfax County Health Department. Her responsibilities spanned multiple offices and included executive operations, financial and administrative coordination, facilities, vendor relationships, events, and organizational initiatives.

She has also managed operations within the private sector, coordinating complex business transactions and developing standardized processes designed to improve efficiency, organization, and consistency.

At AtlasCore, Lia applies that operational experience to the business side of the company, helping ensure that client engagements, internal operations, partnerships, vendor relationships, and administrative processes remain organized and scalable as the company grows.

Her combination of public-sector experience, private-sector operations, and executive support provides AtlasCore with an important operational perspective alongside the company's technical and consulting capabilities.

Partner-Led Consulting

Direct access to the people responsible for delivering results.

Rather than passing clients through multiple layers of sales representatives, account managers, and support teams, AtlasCore provides direct access to company leadership.

James leads AtlasCore's technology, consulting, and technical strategy, while Lia provides operational leadership focused on business processes, coordination, administration, vendor relationships, and organizational support.

Together, they bring complementary perspectives to client engagements and consider how technology, people, processes, vendors, and business operations work together.

Our Extended Team & Strategic Partners

The right expertise for the engagement.

AtlasCore maintains a flexible consulting model designed to match the right resources to each engagement.

When projects require additional expertise, specialized knowledge, or increased capacity, AtlasCore can collaborate with trusted specialists, technology vendors, and strategic partners across technical and business disciplines.

This model allows AtlasCore to remain responsive and hands-on while expanding the capabilities available to clients based on the specific requirements of an engagement. Clients continue to work directly with AtlasCore leadership while benefiting from additional expertise when a project calls for it.
