Ryan Brinkhurst spots and solves seemingly intractable problems — whether that requires developing products that make life easier or working to overhaul systems so they function more effectively for those who depend on them. Most recently, Ryan is the founder and CEO of Beautifi, a fintech platform that connects clinics with patients to enhance the discovery and affordability of elective medical procedures.

But Ryan’s passion for entrepreneurship began long before Beautifi. Having watched his dad grow a successful business from the ground up, Ryan always knew he wanted to build companies too. He also saw that a strong finance background was beneficial to steering a business, so he earned a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.

At age 26, Ryan founded Swift Disability Services, which helps Canadians navigate the application process for the Disability Tax Credit. He also founded Pear Compression and CleanTerra.

Ryan is an active investor, as well as an advisor to young entrepreneurs. True to his West Coast roots, Ryan is an avid boater. When he’s not in the office, he’s likely out on the water.
