Tara Ryan

As Partner and Chief Marketing Officer at Cerity Partners, I lead marketing strategy for the firm - including brand strategy and development, growth marketing, practice marketing, enterprise sponsorships, merger marketing, and building the infrastructure that connects marketing activity to business outcomes.

Prior to Cerity Partners, I spent the majority of my career at Goldman Sachs across several divisions and regions, most recently as Managing Director and Head of Marketing for the Personal Financial Management Group, where I built the marketing function from the ground up.

I've built and led domestic and international marketing and communications teams, at complex and high growth organizations. I believe deeply in building teams that have a strong work ethic, make space for fun, and that provide opportunities for growth. I believe great marketing is the harmony between art and science, and in financial services it's about leaning into authenticity, quality, and relevance.
