After a 25+ year career at M&T Bank, where he led large-scale risk, AML, and operations teams, he stepped out to build Fraxtional, designed to bring executive-level compliance leadership to companies that aren’t ready for full-time hires but can’t afford to get it wrong. Fraxtional’s model is simple but powerful: embed experienced, director-level leaders into high-growth companies on a fractional basis. This allows FinTechs, crypto platforms, and sponsor banks to build credible compliance frameworks early, without slowing down growth or burning capital. What makes Ryan’s approach relevant to consulting leaders is how he positions compliance. Not as a checkbox, but as infrastructure for scale. In regulated industries, trust is the product, and Ryan’s work ensures that trust compounds alongside growth. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
