Meet the Founder

An attorney and cybersecurity expert who speaks your language.

Ryan Torrey spent years guiding Fortune 500 companies — including The North Face, Vans, and Trupanion — through the complex world of AI compliance, data privacy, and emerging technology. As a CIPM-certified attorney with a Master's in Cybersecurity from Drexel University, Ryan has sat in the room where the biggest AI decisions are made.

Now he brings that same enterprise-level expertise to small businesses — without the enterprise price tag or the jargon. Ryan founded Acorns AI because he saw too many small business owners either ignoring AI entirely or getting sold tools they didn't need. His mission is simple: help you make smart, confident decisions about technology so your business can grow.
