About EdTechXperts

Brandon A. Smith is a seasoned thought leader with over 20 years of leadership in higher education and edtech, with a track record of driving access, equity, and student success through technology. He currently serves as CEO of Integrity Advocate, where he leads the company in delivering privacy-first, compliance-driven solutions that safeguard assessment integrity while respecting the dignity of learners.

Previously, Brandon served as President & COO of Enflux, where he helped academic institutions turn data into actionable insights for continuous improvement. Prior to that, he was President & COO of Honorlock, where he guided the company through a period of rapid growth—scaling ARR by 1103% ($2M to $20M in just two years) and moving Honorlock from #236 to #103 on the Inc. 5000 list. His earlier leadership roles include Executive Vice President at ExamSoft and Director of Education at Kaplan (KHEC), where he focused on assessment integrity, accreditation readiness, and the student experience at scale.

Beyond his executive positions, Brandon advises multiple SaaS companies in the edtech space, helping them align product strategy with real-world educational impact. His career spans academic operations, user-centered design, and customer success, all rooted in a deep commitment to improving learning outcomes.

Brandon launched EdTechXperts to fill a gap he noticed over the years—authentic, actionable content that serves both edtech buyers and vendors. Frustrated by the lack of practical insights and product-focused conversations, he created a curated newsletter and community to bring together real voices, expert opinions, and product intelligence from across the edtech ecosystem; in one place.
