About Ryan Cantor

Executive SaaS Leadership: Product, Engineering & Product MarketingI currently am fortunate to lead the Product and Technology organization at Origami Risk. A high growth, profitable B2B SaaS platform for the Risk Management and Core Insurance Platform markets. I lead a team of 180+ across product, UI/UX, engineering, cloud operations, along with company IT. Previously I was the Chief Product Officer overseeing both Product & Engineering at Thryv from $0 to $300M+ ARR in 7 years, profitably. I was responsible for driving ever-evolving innovations serving over 65,000 SMBs throughout the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Over 7 years I led user engagement growth of 1400% and average annual revenue growth >25%. Leading with culture, vision and purpose is at the core of my leadership style. Committed to data driven decisions helps to eliminate distractive political disturbance, creates more job joy, and lets results shine through. I am a pragmatic leader who relies on the voice of the customer and data to make the most informed decisions possible. As an entrepreneurial-minded SaaS executive, I am not afraid to make decisions or mistakes. As a mentor and coach to not just my team but to employees across the organization, I inspire a collaborative, high-performing culture. My specialty is taking complex, high-stress situations and breaking them down into actionable plans that keep everyone focused. I serve as a buffer and champion of my team against the corporate churn and swirl that can sometimes distract from our mission. My brand identity is a straight-shooter executive who gets things done. When I'm "loving" my work, my team and I are executing and driving results that matter for the business. I have been described as focused, direct, honest, and able to deal with ambiguity and lead through change. I have amassed more than 15 years of executive leadership experience. ► SaaS► PLG - Product Led Growth► Product Strategy► Product Development► P&L Responsibility ► Customer Retention► Recruiting & Hiring ► Growth Marketing► Strategic Analysis/Planning► Project/Program Management► Full-Funnel Marketing Strategy► Customer Relationship Management► Technology Integration► Revenue Generation► Budgeting/Forecasting► Product Packaging & Pricing► Global Leadership► Research & Development
