Susan Ryan serves as CEO of the Center for Innovation, the non-profit parent of The Green House Project and Pioneer Network, leading the organization on its mission to fundamentally transform eldercare in America and around the world. As a member of the Green House team since 2008, Ryan has become an internationally recognized leader in long-term care reform – with a particular focus on the organization’s vision for small-home eldercare campuses that provide person-directed alternatives to traditional nursing homes.

Throughout her 35-year career in eldercare, Ryan has been active in a variety of other culture-change movements, including efforts to eliminate the use of inhumane physical restraints in nursing homes and the expansion of home- and community-based (HCBS) services.

At CFI, she works to create a future where every elder receives high-quality, person-directed care in the setting of their choice – while also ensuring the ongoing viability of the non-profit organization and its multiple business lines.
