Background

About Ryan Good

I’m a technology leader specializing in platform engineering, site reliability, and technology enablement at global scale. Currently serving as Director II of Reliability & Platform Engineering at Yum! Brands, I lead teams building the next generation of platforms that power restaurant technology worldwide. Over my career, I’ve driven large-scale transformations - including the evolution from SRE to Platform Engineering, the design of a robust edge compute platform built to scale and centrally manage sites, and the development of a technology enablement platform that gives engineers and business teams self-service tools, AI-driven automation, and consistent workflows. I’m passionate about aligning technology strategy with business outcomes. That means: • Embedding FinOps practices that deliver measurable savings (10%+ annually across cloud and SaaS). • Enabling global teams to work smarter with AI and automation. • Building high-performing engineering organizations that balance speed, resilience, and precision. At the heart of my leadership style is the belief that technology platforms should empower people. By focusing on enablement, clarity, and scale, I help teams deliver solutions that not only meet today’s needs but also prepare organizations for the future.
