Saved By Grace Through Faith.

Son. Brother. Friend.

Arizona State Sun Devil.

Outrageous Fun.

I'm thrilled you're here.

My name is Payne Ruhlman and I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ. I graduated from Arizona State University with three Bachelor of Science degrees in Business Data Analytics, Finance, and Supply Chain Management.

At 19 years old, I was flown across the United States to pitch data-driven findings from a student-led consulting project to a Fortune 50 global delivery services company. At 22 years old, I was entrusted to join meetings with CxOs to discuss a spin-off for a Global 200 pharmaceutical corporation. At 25 years old, I left strategy consulting for tech.

Currently, I help bring clients' digital transformation vision to life using o9's Digital Brain platform. Prior to joining o9 Solutions, my consulting career at KPMG included performance improvement, pre-transaction due diligence, post-transaction planning and execution, and supply chain technology transformation for Fortune 500 clients. My industry experience includes consumer and retail, healthcare and life sciences, industrial manufacturing, oil and gas, and technology. I have unlocked value with clients from all continents (except Antarctica).

There is a real person behind this profile, too! In my free time, you might find me: at the beach, golfing, making wine, mentoring students, playing tabletop games with friends, reading at a local coffee shop, testing new recipes, walking dogs, or working out. I have been to 27 countries, 30 states, and embrace opportunities to travel professionally and personally. Please feel free to contact me below. I am always looking forward to an insightful conversation over coffee, wine, or beer.
