Fractional Chief AI Officer
About Ryan Wentzel
I'm a Fractional Chief AI Officer who doesn't just advise on AI — I architect and ship the platforms. Over two decades across cybersecurity, software engineering, and executive leadership, I've learned that the gap between an AI strategy deck and a product in production is where most initiatives stall.
So I build. The Wentzel.ai platform family — Cytra, Lawvora, Humanome, MAPS, Q, Vector, CashMeUp, CARL, and Pragma — is a portfolio of full-stack products I've designed and shipped for regulated, high-stakes industries, with AI at the core and compliance treated as a product requirement.
