For nearly 25 years, Ryan worked at the intersection of geospatial intelligence, enterprise technology, and decision-making under pressure, applying spatial thinking to complex, high-stakes problems where clarity really matters.

The first half of his career was spent in the British Army (Royal Engineers), where he served in specialist geospatial roles supporting some of the most demanding environments imaginable. This included serving as the designated geospatial expert for the UK’s Nuclear Bomb Disposal Team and later leading geospatial capability for UK Special Forces.

In the second half of his career, Ryan has been applying that same intelligence mindset at enterprise scale, operating in the world of energy, utilities, and critical national infrastructure, where he led large-scale geospatial strategy and transformation across complex organisations in the UK and US.

Ryan’s work focuses on elevating geospatial from a technical function to a core business capability, one that underpins investment decisions, resilience, safety, net-zero delivery, and long-term infrastructure planning.
