Experience
Ryan has spent his career working to close the gap between how finance is taught and how it is actually practiced. He began in asset management in London before moving into financial markets training and consulting, working with institutions across Europe and then Asia to design and deliver programs covering capital markets, investment banking, and risk management. His clients included some of the world's leading banks and financial institutions. Before joining CFI, Ryan spent over a decade building and scaling training solutions for the global investment banking industry, giving him firsthand insight into what finance professionals need to develop, and what most educational programs leave out.
At CFI, Ryan serves as SVP of Training & Curriculum, where he leads the development of programs across corporate finance, capital markets, credit, risk, and AI. He holds the FMVA® designation and is passionate about building education that practitioners recognize as immediately applicable and not just technically correct.
Outside of work
Outside of work, Ryan is a New Zealander at heart which means an unshakeable loyalty to the All Blacks and a willingness to watch almost any sport at almost any hour. He runs and cycles to compensate, and his two daughters make sure he never gets too comfortable on the couch.
