About Ryan Pikus
I’m a business-first technology executive with 20+ years of experience turning technology into measurable enterprise value.I’ve led platform, data, and integration strategies at scale within complex logistics and supply-chain organizations, partnering directly with CEOs, boards, and private-equity sponsors to drive operational efficiency, margin expansion, and growth. My focus has been building technology as an operating asset — not a support function — powering customer platforms, automation, analytics, and large-scale system integrations.My leadership style is pragmatic and outcome-driven: align technology to revenue and EBITDA, eliminate friction through automation and data, and build teams that execute with clarity and accountability.
