Under our Stretch Five brand, our founder Ryan Renteria provides personalized and focused executive coaching services to CEOs, founders, and investment professionals.
Ryan’s approach derives from two decades of experience in studying and advising leaders as a hedge fund partner, NBA team advisor and executive coach.
Ryan helps CEOs and other senior leaders maximize their professional and personal performance and growth, and achieve impact, legacy and connection with their businesses and families.
He is referred by CEO clients to work with their C-suite executives, or as a personal recommendation to other CEOs in their networks. He is also referred by PE and VC firms to CEOs and founders of their portfolio companies.
Universities such as Stanford and Dartmouth’s Tuck Business School refer Ryan to their experienced alumni.
Ryan’s approach to executive coaching services is based on years of research and experience around leadership and coaching best practices while:
The approach also draws on Ryan’s own career progressions, leveraging mistakes made and lessons learned to help clients better understand and avoid their own pitfalls.
”Early in the interview stage I already knew Ryan was going to add significant value to the Pacers. In his early stages of growing our analytics efforts, I read all his analyses and enjoyed the unique insights and clear communication. I’m confident he’ll be quite successful using his skill set, passion and integrity to help executives take their growth to new heights.

Ryan sees many cases where one or more of these obstacles is hindering CEOs from achieving their aims.
After graduating from Stanford with highest honors for academic excellence from Stanford’s Latino community, Ryan landed at Goldman Sachs in consumer sector equity research.
He then worked at two hedge funds, Balyasny and Karsch. He became a partner at Karsch at 25, serving as the managing director of consumer investments as the firm doubled assets over the next 5 years.
After a career of strong returns, Ryan decided to leave Wall St. at 30 to focus on charitable work. He spent two years volunteering at five children’s charities.
He later helped over 500 people as a volunteer empathetic listener on the support platform 7 cups (avg. rating 5.0 of 5), and became a fund partner of Social Venture Partners to support Sacramento charities.
Ryan was then hired by the Indiana Pacers owner as a data science advisor. He advised Pacers’ executives on trades, draft picks, and free agents, and coaches on game strategies.
He was one of many who played a small role in helping the Pacers earn top-10 ranks in wins per dollar and wins above Vegas expectations, and two conference finals berths.
A lifelong sports fan, Ryan was part of the ownership group of the Milwaukee Brewers’ Double-A Minor League Baseball team and a potential Major League Soccer team.
”From working on our IPO in 2002 to becoming a shareholder, Ryan challenged us with insightful questions around our strategy and growth initiatives. His guidance will help leaders aiming to grow their business and create a culture of well-being.

”My own goal is to find balance and intellectual stimulation. I value being able to hug my kids at school drop off, get a great sweat from a mid-morning tennis match, and have lunch with my folks in my backyard. I live the balance I champion with my clients.
