Ryan Vet

Ryan Vet is a generational futurist, leadership speaker, and USA TODAY bestselling author who helps organizations transform cross-generational friction into lasting momentum. A globally recognized entrepreneur, Vet has delivered more than 1,000 live presentations on four continents, reaching millions of leaders across corporate, association, and education audiences.

More than a decade before artificial intelligence reached the mainstream, Vet was already building companies at the crossroads of emerging technology and human behavior. Beginning his exploration of AI in 2010, he has spent the last twenty years founding, scaling, and advising ventures across technology, healthcare, hospitality, and media—giving him a rare, ground-level view of how innovation reshapes people, organizations, and culture.

Vet has held executive roles in companies that grew to valuations approaching $750 million and has advised organizations with a cumulative valuation exceeding $2.2 billion. His work consistently focuses on one question: How do we lead people well in times of rapid change?

Drawing on years of generational research, Vet helps leaders understand why generations think, communicate, and work the way they do—and how to turn those differences into strategic advantages. Rather than stereotypes, he brings usable patterns and cultural insights that help organizations attract, retain, and inspire talent from Boomers to Gen Z.

His insights have been featured in Forbes, USA TODAY, ABC, NBC, CBS,and other major outlets, and he serves on multiple university and nonprofit advisory boards.

Vet holds a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Elon University, an MBA from Purdue University, and executive education in Global Business and Change Management from Harvard Business School and Cornell University.
