Ryan Orton
Ryan is a partner at RubinBrown LLP, where he leads the AI & Data Practice, helping private equity portfolio companies and large organizations turn AI and data ambitions into measurable business value. With over 20 years of experience in technology and strategy, his work spans AI and data strategy and implementation guided by a proprietary methodology built on the principle that organizational capability matters more than technology selection.
A Columbia MBA and UC Berkeley Master's in Data Science graduate, Ryan also teaches in the executive education programs at Berkeley (Data Strategy) and Wharton (Leading Technology Organizations).
His hands-on implementation experience ranges from building machine learning algorithms and trading platforms to leading large-scale technology integrations, giving him a practitioner's perspective on what it takes to move AI from pilot to production in complex organizations.
Ryan works directly with leadership teams to identify high-value AI opportunities, build the data foundations to support them, and design implementation roadmaps that deliver returns, not just prototypes. His approach bridges the gap between AI's promise and the operational reality of making it work.
