Bryan is a technology executive focused on building high-performing teams that drive real business outcomes. He currently serves as CIO at Norwest and leads business technology, with a focus on driving innovation, scalability, and alignment with firm-wide objectives.
Bryan started his career during the late-1990s dot-com era, and since then has led technology organizations through multiple waves of transformation — from early cloud adoption to today’s AI-driven shift. Prior to Norwest, he served as CIO at 6sense, where he led business technology, security, and business operations, helping drive AI transformation, strengthen enterprise security posture, and align execution to top-line growth.
Earlier in his career, Bryan held leadership roles at GitLab, Snowflake, and DocuSign. At GitLab, he helped build the systems and processes that supported a successful IPO in 2021. At Snowflake, he was the first VP of IT, scaling enterprise systems and global infrastructure during a period of hypergrowth from 400 to 2,000 employees. At DocuSign, he led IT Operations, overseeing global infrastructure, DevOps platforms, and service delivery at scale.
His leadership philosophy is grounded in a simple belief: great teams outperform everything. He focuses on creating environments where people can do the best work of their careers — with clarity, accountability, and a strong connection to business impact.
Bryan is particularly interested in how AI is reshaping enterprise operations and decision-making, and how leaders can apply it in practical ways to drive competitive advantage.
