Rallyday Partners

Ryan has been an investor, CEO and entrepreneur for nearly 25 years with a calling to build great organizations that elevate industries and the lives they touch.

Ryan was previously the founder and CEO of EVP Eyecare, a regional provider of surgical eye care with operations in Arizona, Colorado and Texas. Prior to forming and successfully selling EVP Eyecare, Ryan co-founded Excellere Partners, a private equity fund focused primarily in the healthcare industry with approximately $2.3 billion of capital under management.

As an entrepreneur who eventually recapitalized his business and reported to a private equity board of directors, serving as CEO, coupled with a long career as a private equity executive, Ryan feels a calling to elevate the private equity industry in service to other founders and their employees.

With this deep sense of purpose, today Ryan is a Co-Founder, Managing Partner and CEO of Rallyday Partners, with a vision to establish the firm as a destination for the best entrepreneurs who seek a more powerful and fulfilling source of capital and partnership as they scale their organizations.

Ryan is a two-time Olympian in skiing and serves as the Chairman of CiviCO, a Denver-based leadership development organization that supports leaders across the private, government, and non-profit sectors. He resides in Denver with his wife, Nadia, and two children, Reese and Chase.
