Ryan Hughes is the Vice President of Sales, AI Advisory Services at Nomad Cyber Concepts, Inc., where he leads the firm’s GTM Sales and guides commercial and defense clients through the fast-moving landscape of AI governance, risk, and compliance. His focus is translating emerging obligations into clear, actionable programs that let organizations adopt AI with confidence rather than fear.
Ryan brings over 12 years of experience spanning sales/business development, account management, and recruiting across technology, healthcare, aviation, AEC, and federal sectors, with a track record of exceeding targets and expanding into new markets for organizations ranging from Fortune 500s to start-ups.
Known as a trusted executive partner, he prides himself on building relationships and making connections that improve society. That background shapes how he works today: listening first, tailoring solutions to the client’s real constraints, and delivering insight that drives measurable growth. At Nomad, he channels that same drive into helping clients stand up the AI governance capability they need without carrying the full cost of building it in-house.
Ryan is a proud husband and father from Dallas, Texas. He holds a Bachelor of Marketing from the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University, and is a brother of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
