It's rare to encounter a professional who combines profound empathy with expertise, but that's exactly what Ryan Smith represents in the cyber risk domain. Having known Ryan for years, I've seen firsthand how his unique blend of skills has made a tangible impact on businesses and vendors alike.

Ryan has a remarkable ability to demystify cyber risk, translating complex concepts into business-oriented solutions that are not only accessible but actionable. His extensive experience in sales and crafting cyber risk solutions has empowered businesses to enhance their security posture and navigate difficult decisions with confidence.

Beyond his practical expertise, Ryan has established himself as a thought leader in cyber-related topics, especially within the independent insurance agency channel. His problem-solving acumen and customer-first approach have been invaluable for businesses unsure of how to begin their cybersecurity and compliance journeys.

What truly sets Ryan apart, however, is his commitment to education and knowledge sharing. With a strong educational background in this field, he's not just a consultant; he's a mentor determined to uplift others. Ryan's dedication to helping businesses improve their sales tactics and better serve their clients in the face of cyber challenges is commendable.

I am proud to endorse Ryan Smith, not just for his professional achievements but for his unwavering dedication to making a difference in the lives of others. His course on 'selling for cyber risk' is not just a testament to his expertise but a reflection of his passion for empowering others.

I have referred Ryan to several close contacts because I am fully confident in his expertise and integrity. He stands out as one of the most well-rounded and balanced professionals I know. Beyond his ability to engage in meaningful conversation, Ryan has a unique talent for simplifying complex cyber risks into straightforward, actionable insights.

I don’t think it’s a secret that most businesses and people are ill-prepared with their cyber exposures. There is a tremendous amount of opportunity in the space for professionals to educate and help resolve these problems. I know Ryan has been studying and working deeply in this discipline for a while now. His experience, intellect, and personality are why I continue to recommend people talk to him!
