Ryan Pido

Established a specialized boutique consulting enterprise with a core emphasis on formulating strategies, cultivating development, and refining operations. Collaborating across a spectrum of enterprises, ranging from established traditional corporations to burgeoning startups. Personally immersed in the minutiae of daily operations, consistently delivering tangible value to diverse businesses. Currently, as a representative of Picor, I hold the position of fractional Chief Operating Officer for a clandestine tech startup, effectively steering its trajectory.

Chosen by PwC from a global pool of applicants, I embarked on a consulting dissertation focused on the ethical utilization of innovative technologies. My research aimed to explore avenues for PwC to enhance data commercialization while addressing vital societal challenges. Collaborating with the data and analytics consulting team in the U.K., I assumed a dual role—consultant and salesperson—delivering strategic insights to clients and actively contributing to project implementation.

My responsibilities extended to researching the future skill requirements for data end users, a task vital to addressing potential skill shortages resulting from AI and ML advancements. Investigating ways to integrate data and analytical proficiencies into early education stages, I contributed valuable insights to PwC's strategic planning.

My journey exemplifies a commitment to leveraging innovation for ethical advancement and fostering educational transitions in the face of evolving technologies.

Joined as the 7th employee (now exceeding 100) and the inaugural sales hire prior to Series A funding. Entrusted with the pivotal task of enhancing and contemporizing the encompassing sales arsenal—comprising tool selection, evaluation (CRM, Project Management, in-house AI, front-end development), and both internal and external communications. Holds a comprehensive purview of the end-to-end B2B sales cycle and strategic partnerships, working closely alongside the Head of Operations and CEO. Reports directly to the CEO.

Within a mere 3 months, accomplished the acquisition of a Tier 1 client projected to generate eight-figure annual revenue. Spearheaded the complete expansion into the US, assembling operations from scratch. Led the comprehensive talent acquisition process, handpicked the entire team, and established operational bases in San Francisco and New York.
