Ryan Machay

IT leader with 10+ years of experience building, scaling, and maturing technology organizations across high-growth startups and global environments supporting 6,000+ users. I specialize in IT operations, strategy, identity and access management, security, and M&A integrations - often stepping into complex, messy environments and turning them into reliable, business-aligned organizations. I’ve led multiple acquisitions end-to-end, standardized systems post-merger, modernized legacy IT stacks, and partnered closely with executive leadership to ensure technology enables growth instead of slowing it down. Known for building strong teams, creating clear operating models, and translating technical work into business outcomes that matter. I’m seeking a remote IT director/senior leadership role where I can own strategy and execution, lead distributed teams, and help a growing organization scale with confidence—especially in environments experiencing rapid change, transformation, or M&A activity.
