About Ryan Nietfeldt

I’m an executive finance and operations leader with 20+ years of experience helping organizations take what’s working and make it excellent. I specialize in aligning strategy, people, and execution to drive measurable results, strengthen discipline, and raise performance standards across the enterprise.I’m wired to finish things and improve systems. I’m at my best in complex environments where priorities compete, resources need alignment, and outcomes actually matter. I care deeply about results, but just as much about who I’m working with and how the work gets done. Trust, accountability, and clarity are non-negotiables for me.Most recently, as EVP and CFO at EHPV Management Group, I led all corporate finance functions while partnering closely with executive leadership on growth initiatives, digital transformation, and strategic partnerships that improved efficiency and profitability. Earlier at ACI Worldwide, I supported the company’s expansion from roughly $400M to over $1.1B in revenue, building global forecasting models and leading high-performing teams across Omaha, London, and Singapore.I’m motivated by raising the bar, optimizing teams and systems, and turning strategy into execution. Whether working with boards and executives, restructuring how work gets done, or mentoring future leaders, my goal is simple: create clarity, build momentum, and deliver outcomes that last.#ExecutiveLeadership #CFO #FinanceLeadership #OperationalExcellence #StrategyAndExecution
