Illumia names Don Smith SVP of higher education portfolio

Illumia, a business unit of Roper Technologies (Nasdaq: ROP), has appointed Don Smith as senior vice president and general manager of higher education, consolidating the company's commerce, identity, and payments businesses under a single leader.

Smith previously led Illumia's integrated payments business, where he oversaw product strategy and market expansion, including the addition of PayPal and Venmo as tuition payment options within existing payment portals. He has more than 15 years of experience across software and financial services.

In his new role, Smith will work across product, technology, commercial, and customer teams. The appointment is part of a broader reorganization in which Illumia is structuring teams around customer outcomes and portfolio-wide priorities rather than individual product lines.

Greg Brown, CEO of Illumia, said in a statement: "Don brings the product leadership, business experience and deep understanding of this market to help us deliver on that expectation. His leadership will be important as we sharpen our strategy and position the business for its next phase of growth."

Illumia, formerly known as Transact + CBORD, serves more than 10,000 higher education, healthcare, and senior living institutions.
