Ryan Nowlin
Ryan Nowlin is the Chief Information Officer of Fitness Connection, where he has spent the past seven years transforming the company’s early-stage technology capabilities into a strategic, innovation driven function. Despite operating with limited resources, Ryan led the development of a comprehensive proprietary technology ecosystem that modernized the member experience end to end. His leadership drove the creation of digital membership sales platforms, member rewards and gated amenity systems, self service tools, advanced data analytics, and an integrated CRM and billing architecture to support the company’s rapid growth. Before entering the health and fitness industry, Ryan spent 15 years leading technology initiatives across multiple regional restaurant brands. He architected and deployed digital solutions that redefined operational performance and guest engagement, including modern POS systems, online ordering and loyalty programs, catering and drive thru technologies, mobile applications, and enterprise analytics frameworks. Ryan’s career began in technology consulting, where he spent another 15 years advising organizations on technology strategy and information security. His experience includes working for a major consulting firm as well as founding and operating his own businesses. He holds an MBA from Southern Methodist University (2006). Ryan and his wife of 28 years live on their ranch near Fort Worth, Texas, where he enjoys playing acoustic guitar—often for an audience of very appreciative wildlife.
