Ryan Simpson, Cia, Crma Email & Phone Number

I am passionate about helping organizations achieve their financial, operational, and compliance objectives. As the Vice President of Internal Audit at Green Brick Partners, a diversified homebuilding and land development company, I lead a team of professionals who provide independent and objective assurance and consulting services to the Board of Directors, senior management, and external stakeholders. I am committed to fostering a culture of ethics, integrity, and accountability across the organization, and to delivering value-added solutions that enhance the company's governance, risk management, and internal control processes.In my previous role as the Head of Internal Audit at U.S. Concrete, a leading producer of ready-mixed concrete and aggregates, I successfully transformed the internal audit function from a reactive and compliance-oriented activity to a proactive and strategic partner for the business. I redesigned the entire SOX compliance process, resulting in increased assurance while reducing department expenses by 45%. I also identified and implemented cost savings and recoveries, developed a dynamic and risk-based annual audit plan, and managed the company's ethics hotline program. I leveraged my skills in certified public accounting, manufacturing process improvement, and internal audits to help the company achieve its growth and profitability goals.
