BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Cynergists Foundation is powered by a team of builders who believe access should never be a barrier to entrepreneurship.
Ryan Van Ornum
Executive Director
A systems strategist and serial entrepreneur, Ryan founded Cynergists to close the gap between ambition and access. After scaling multiple ventures and mentoring dozens of founders, he saw the need for real, hands-on operational support, especially for those often left out of the startup conversation.
Chris Irving
Vice Chairman
Chris brings over a decade of experience building cross-sector alliances across nonprofits, government initiatives, and small business ecosystems. His leadership ensures we build strong bridges between vision, resources, and real-world impact.
