Background
Director of Technology
Ryan Minor is Director of Technology at The Well. He has more than 17 years of experience in software engineering, technology leadership and product development, and he joined The Well in October 2026.
His career has been about turning business ideas into working software. Ryan has served as Chief Technology Officer, Director of Software Engineering, and President and CEO. In those roles he led technology strategy, engineering teams and modernization work for growing organizations. He has taken multiple commercial software products from concept to production, including proprietary healthcare and dental billing software. He has also designed secure SaaS systems built to HIPAA and PCI compliance standards and integrated artificial intelligence and large language models into commercial applications. He holds a U.S. patent in IoT communications and a provisional patent related to AI-powered medical documentation. Ryan earned a B.A. in Business, with a concentration in Information Systems, from the University of Pittsburgh.
That mix of executive leadership and hands-on engineering is what sets his work apart. Ryan understands the business problem and can build the solution, so nothing gets lost between the goal and the code.
At The Well, Ryan leads technology strategy, software development and infrastructure. He works with leadership to turn business goals into technical solutions, bring AI and automation into the team's daily workflows, and build systems that scale as the firm grows. His favorite part of the job is taking something complicated and making it simpler, faster and more effective, so the team can spend more of its time on relationships.
He sees technology as a way to strengthen the human side of recruiting, not replace it. In his words, finding the right person for the right opportunity "can change the trajectory of a business." Better tools help the team make better-informed decisions and build stronger relationships with the firms and candidates it serves.
Ryan was drawn to The Well by its clear vision, strong leadership and a team that is not afraid to challenge conventional approaches. He believes the firm's values of excellence, faith, family, growth and generosity are the foundation of a successful organization and, more importantly, a meaningful life.
Ryan lives in Cave Creek, Arizona. Outside work he enjoys exploring emerging technology and entrepreneurial projects, traveling, staying active, getting outdoors and spending time with family. His motto: "Great things are never accomplished by standing still. Keep learning, keep building, and never stop improving."
