Ryan is a Partner and Head of our Washington DC office, supporting clients with long-term managed services across intelligence, crisis response, investigations, and global security operations. He works with large multinational organizations across sectors with a specific focus on technology, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and platform-based social media companies.
Clients approach Ryan when they need to rapidly scale trusted risk, security or intelligence capabilities inside their organization without building them from scratch. Through Embedded Consulting Services, he and his team help to address complex challenges such as global threat exposure, crisis readiness, trust and safety risks, by integrating vetted, high-caliber professionals directly into their teams. The result is stronger decision‑making, reduced operational and reputational risk, and resilient programs that operate at pace, scale, and with measurable impact.
Recent engagements include:
- Executive sponsor and lead for the ongoing global deployment of an embedded GSOC, intelligence, anti-human trafficking, and online threat program for a platform-based hospitality company, integrating security operations, threat monitoring, investigations and resilience functions into a single client ecosystem
- Overseeing the ongoing embedded GSOC program for one of the world’s best-known technology brands, transforming a traditional guard-centric operation into a proactive, intelligence-led 24/7 security capability
“Co-ordinating rescue efforts and securing critical operations amid widespread chaos underscored just how human crisis management really is.”
Ryan brings deep, hands-on embedded consulting expertise with an unwavering commitment to putting client needs first. He leads with empathy, practicality, and a genuine partnership mindset that helps teams succeed under real-world pressure.
One of his most formative professional challenges came when he was deployed to support a major Canadian bank as Hurricane Irma bore down on the Caribbean, followed closely by Hurricane Maria. This experience of co-ordinating search and rescue efforts and securing critical operations amid widespread chaos underscored for him just how human crisis management really is.
Clients enjoy working with Ryan because he brings energy, humor, and humanity to the table. He values relationships that strengthen over time and believes that doing great work and having some fun along the way, are what build trust and delivers lasting results. His commitment to excellence continues to position Control Risks at the forefront of providing unparalleled contingent workforce solutions for our clients.
