Ryan Ferretti is a hands-on technology executive with 15+ years building AI-driven, cloud-native platforms and scaling engineering organizations to deliver measurable business impact. Currently leading a 200+ global org, he blends product-led operating models with platform and MLOps investments to accelerate delivery, cut upgrade timelines from months to days, and lift developer productivity by over 50%. He has preserved and modernized large revenue streams—managing a $400M+ post-acquisition integration and protecting a quarter of company revenue through zero-downtime migrations—while shipping agentic AI that reduced call-center workload by 90%. A pragmatic builder who moves monoliths to event-driven microservices, he pairs architecture rigor with automation-first release practices that enabled daily deployments and rapid SEO-driven growth. He’s as comfortable coaching Directors and Staff Engineers as he is designing RAG/LLM personalization and observability platforms that guard against hallucinations and drift. Based in Chicago with a DePaul CS master's, he’s known for sustaining 100% team retention through high-change programs and for creating internal developer experiences that drive near-universal adoption.
