Trista Britton

Practice Lead · PMO & Smartsheet

Trista has spent 20+ years inside the PMO, standing up stage-gate frameworks, demand intake, and executive reporting for enterprise portfolios. Now she architects end-to-end Smartsheet solutions that run from intake through closure, connect siloed portfolios, layer in AI-enabled integrations, and give executives reporting they can actually act on. Every engagement ends with something your team can own and run without her.
