Background

About Abbey Smith

Strategic, driven, and mission-focused, I bring a diverse blend of executive leadership, operational expertise, and nonprofit dedication to every role I take on. As the Executive Director of Golden Gloves of America, I lead the charge in preserving and advancing a historic amateur boxing tradition while creating impactful opportunities for youth across the country. With a strong foundation in project management, finance, and event coordination, I’ve spent my career supporting organizations across industries—from construction and real estate to national nonprofits. I’m skilled in overseeing complex operations, managing multimillion-dollar budgets, and building strategic partnerships that drive sustainable growth. I thrive in fast-paced environments, wear many hats with ease, and pride myself on being both detail-oriented and big-picture focused. Whether I’m coordinating national sporting events, leading organizational governance, or rolling up my sleeves to get things done behind the scenes—I’m all in. I believe in building strong communities, empowering others, and making a measurable difference through purposeful work. Let’s connect!
