We thank the Economic and Community Development team for a great experience and for welcoming us into this city’s unique hub of ambitious and creative talent,” Jodan Ledford, CEO of Smart USA Co. said.
Founded in 2014, Smart has more than 70,000 retirement plans on its platform throughout the U.K., Ireland, Dubai and Australia. Smart USA’s offices in Cummins Station will support its new venture into the U.S. retirement services industry. “Smart USA Co. joins a growing list of tech companies planting their roots in Nashville. Thank you to the Tennessee General Assembly for supporting this venture and promoting an environment where innovative companies can prosper,” said Governor Bill Lee.

The creation of over 100 new family-wage jobs from a successful and fast-growing tech company furthers Tennessee’s reputation as a top state to do business,” added TNECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe.
