Natalie Ryan

​​Natalie is a Partner at SPMB and has worked in the technology recruiting and executive search industry since 2012. She has developed a strong reputation for successfully managing complex and high-stakes CEO and C-suite executive search projects across North America. She specializes in partnering with clients focused on driving liquidity events and maximizing shareholder value.

She is recognized as a thought leader in the executive search industry and has been sought after to lead masterclasses and panels with investors and clients. Her work is regularly featured in publications such as Hunt Scanlon Media, and she is an expert contributor for Built-In, the online community for tech companies.

Clients value her as a partner because her search approach focuses on data, transparency, and speed. She is passionate about using talent acquisition to solve challenging business problems and building long-term trusted relationships with clients and candidates.

Mike Doonan, SPMB Managing Partner, says, “Natalie is a shining example of the culture we’ve all worked so hard to build over the years – one of collaboration, self-improvement, support for teammates, grit, resilience, smarts, diversity of thought and an obsession with client success”.

Natalie graduated Cum Laude in just three years from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a BA in English Literature. Before joining SPMB, she was a Principal at a San Francisco recruiting firm and began her career as a recruiting consultant at a global firm listed on the London Stock Exchange.

When Natalie is not working on closing searches, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, competing on the tennis court, training at the gym, or diving into a new book.
