    From the Field to the Boardroom

    At Touchdown Strategy, building a business is like building a championship team it takes vision, strategy, discipline, and execution.

    Our founder, Ryan Forrestal, blends the grit of a former college-level football player and coach with deep financial expertise as a CFO and business advisor.

    Ryan launched his career inside a Fortune 500 company, building a foundation in corporate finance and high-performance organizations. He later served as the CFO for multiple family offices, managing over $50 million in assets. Notably, Ryan played a key role in the integration of a $1.1 billion public-to-private transaction, gaining invaluable experience in complex deal structures, capital markets, and execution at scale.

    Beyond the boardroom, Ryan has partnered with countless small and mid-sized businesses to stop bleeding profits, engineer financial turnarounds, and drive sustainable growth. His unique perspective shaped by both Wall Street transactions and Main Street business transformations gives him the ability to help leaders see the field differently, anticipate challenges, and call the right plays.
