Managing Director
UK
With more than a decade of contingent, executive search, team-build and consultancy experience, Ryan decided to launch Intaso in 2020 to offer a complete set of talent solutions to the Cyber Industry. Ryan is a CISMP qualified head-hunter and CAPSLOCK mentor who still keeps his hands on the tools with Exec Security searches, delivering webinars and industry talks at BSides, and attending events like Blackhat and Defcon.
Ryan is a family man who has two young boys & a baby girl with his wife Kerry, and can often be seen chasing them around and getting muddy. An avid sports nut, Ryan trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, has just managed to get his golf handicap to single figures and still hasn’t managed to hang up his rugby boots after 30 years! Aside from this, he is a keen Crypto investor and is always looking to further himself when it comes to self-development and mental health.
"From first contact to last, Ryan has been a complete professional. There are a lot of recruitment specialists that seem to talk the talk, but don’t have the depth of knowledge about the jobs market that Ryan has. Not only was he able to place me with the first role he identified for me (on our very first meeting), he kept me informed throughout the process and was second to none come offer time, taking the time to understand my circumstances and requirements.
I’d you’re in the leadership space and struggling to find a recruiter who understands the more senior end of the job market, seriously - look no further.
Thanks again to Ryan and the team for everything!"
"Ryan is a great businessman, recruiter and friend. Having worked with him for my own job search a couple of years ago I found him a great listener and respectful of my position. I later used him to build a high performing team with a limited budget, and was delighted to be asked to form part of his new business as a NED. His relaxed yet driven attitude towards his work ensures his own and others’ success."
"Ryan placed me as CISO at Abellio at the beginning of one of the strangest times (COVID-19 break out). If that wasn’t impressive enough he did it whilst setting up his new business and expecting a new addition to his family who also arrived just as I started at Abellio! Ryan was incredibly professional and warm throughout. He never made any empty promises and was always transparent. I look forward to working with him in the future either to find staff or change roles myself."
"Fantastic to work with, sets a very high bar for the recruitment industry and a pleasure to know. Ryan is one of the few who still conduct business face to face (which is absolutely essential for us) and has never failed to deliver quality candidates, pre-screened and well suited for the role. A genuine, hard working character I'm sure I'll be working with for years to come."
"Over the course of our recruitment process, Ryan provided Copper with a strong calibre of candidates. He demonstrated an excellent understanding of our company and culture, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a consultant."
"Intaso are fantastic to work with, set a very high bar for the recruitment industry and are a pleasure to know. Intaso are one of the few who still conduct business face to face (which is absolutely essential for us) and have never failed to deliver quality candidates, pre-screened and well suited for the roles. Genuine, hardworking characters that I'm sure I'll be working with for years to come. They have just completed a team build of 30 for us which was seamless and professionally run from start to finish"
“We have engaged Intaso on several occasions to deliver key searches for the business. We found the team to have an excellent understanding of the cyber security industry. Every candidate we interview through Intaso has come well prepped and understood the position they were interviewing for. The calibre of candidate and speed to shortlist has been excellent, the Intaso team constantly communicates with us on their search and are consultative in their approach.”
