About Ryan Barton

I believe work, leadership, business, and capitalism can be powerful forces for good. All too often, they shape us poorly, lie to us about the meaning of life, and prevent us from engaging in the real journey - the one within. With intentionality, we can turn work into a practice of cultivating wisdom, aligned to the Good. And we can bring this into a deep inquiry into our lives, seeking to cultivate meaning and wisdom, so that life (ours and others) may flourish.

Experience

   The invention of widely-available, ever-more-powerful Artificial Intelligence is changing the knowledge economy in fundamental and dramatic ways. At New Charter, I work with the Innovation Center team to see the vision, craft the strategy, align the organization, build the integration technology, and effect real change to pioneer AI-integrated services. Our focus is to be at the forefront of innovation, with a strong people focus, unlocking value for the company, and leading the way for clients everywhere.(I joined the team when NCT acquired Orchestrate AI Labs)
