The Leadership Blueprint: Building a Culture That Drives Growth

Join FEI Knoxville and ACG Tennessee for this joint event as we welcome Tia Smith, Founder & CEO of Ignite Consulting and one of the industry’s leading culture strategists for high-growth organizations. With more than 25 years of global experience - from Big Four consultancies to fast-scaling tech - Tia has helped companies across five continents scale their workforces, navigate acquisitions, and build people systems that truly evolve with the business.

As a speaker, author, and VP of Culture Advisory for Momentum Human Capital Advisors, Tia brings honest, practical insight to the topics leaders are navigating today: trust, burnout, culture integration, and values-driven performance. Her signature seven-pillar methodology helps leaders turn culture into a measurable engine for growth.

Tia’s core philosophy is simple: strong cultures don’t happen by accident, they’re built with intention, clarity, and everyday behavior.
If you’re ready for fresh insight, actionable strategies, and a session that will leave you thinking differently about culture, leadership, and growth - you won’t want to miss this!
