Black-and-white portrait of Ryan Jameson.

Experience across financial operations and compliance, company building, regulated manufacturing, and software product development.

I founded and sold Apollo Gear Co., a night-vision manufacturer registered with the U.S. Department of State under ITAR that generated more than $10 million in cumulative revenue. I am currently developing Altira, screening and investigative-review software informed by prior compliance work and experience operating a regulated company.

How I work

Operating profile

My work has often crossed functional boundaries. At Apollo, I was responsible for sales, supplier relationships, inventory, manufacturing, compliance, customer service, and the eventual sale of the business. At Altira, I am responsible for product direction, workflow design, technical development, and commercial preparation.

I am best suited to high-ownership roles where the problem is still taking shape and responsibility extends across functions.
