Guest Occupation: CEO of Broyd Partners
Guest Biography:

Graham Broyd is a British-American businessman, writer, and athlete. Born in Dorking, England, he went to school in Bedford and then Liverpool, before going to Birmingham University in 1978 to study International Relations and play sports.

Graham had a 40-year career in international banking, in London, Panama and New York. He was the CEO of the North American business of the Royal Bank of Scotland, and managed some of the largest currency and fixed income businesses in the world.

On retirement in 2024 Graham found his writing voice. A lifetime storyteller, Graham decided to write down the stories of his first trip to America, back in 1980, to self-publish and share with a few friends, for fun. Released by Forbes/Advantage Media in August of 2025, “Backpack, Jacket Surfboard. My Journey across America, Then and Now” delighted all who read it and was the top selling Travel Humor book in America in December of 2025.

Graham has spent a lifetime playing sports, representing the English National team in Water Polo in his early twenties, but also swimming, playing football, rugby, cricket, squash, tennis, badminton and golf at varying levels of competition. At the age of 56, with only six weeks of experience as a runner in high school, and then, later in life, a painful experience attempting the London marathon, Graham took up Masters sprinting.

It has been a journey of personal joy. The biggest impact has been hearing the stories of other athletes, all world-class today, and why they were not Olympians when they were young, but prospered – and peaked – later in life. Lessons for us all.

Graham has been married to Betsy since 1983, living primarily in Scarsdale, New York. They have a son, James, and a daughter, Peyton, both married and living in the New York area.

Graham’s first book: “The Panama Canal Treaties: The diplomacy and economics behind the treaty that changed the international order,” was self-published in July of 2024.

“Backpack, Jacket, Surfboard: My Journey across America, Then and Now,” was published by Forbes/Advantage Media in August of 2025.

Guest Biography:

Ryan Roberts was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays with the 530th overall pick in the 2003 MLB Draft. He made his Major League debut in 2006 and went on to play nine seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, Arizona Diamondbacks, Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox. Known to Arizona Diamondbacks fans as “Tatman,” Ryan became recognized for his relentless style of play and ability to outperform expectations. His years in professional baseball also gave him a firsthand understanding of what athletes experience beyond the moments seen on television. A professional season demands more than talent. Players must manage travel, fatigue, injuries, pressure, disrupted routines and limited recovery time while continuing to perform publicly.


Those experiences now shape Ryan’s work as CEO of RIVYN and the philosophy
behind CoreFlo.
