Ryan Taylor Chang

Overview

Ryan enters the Pro Bowl Games as one of the most polished operators in the MAP ecosystem — a founder, writer, and analyst whose responses are frequently held up as model answers. As a PPE major with an intended Consumer Psychology minor at Penn, he blends rigorous economic and quantitative training with a deep feel for how people and markets actually behave. His track record spans founding G’EATS (a venture-backed robotic kitchen startup), executing market-entry and operating models at ClearVue Partners, and supporting capital-matching and diligence work at Leader Bank. As a returning MAP fellow and Pro Bowl competitor, Ryan brings both technical reps and institutional exposure, with a demeanor that stays calm, thoughtful, and composed under pressure.

Strengths

• Exceptionally polished communicator whose written and verbal work product consistently lands at “model answer” level.
• Founder DNA through G’EATS — has raised capital, secured a launch customer, and managed a cross-functional team toward execution.
• Private equity and banking-adjacent experience across ClearVue Partners and Leader Bank, including TAM work, operating models, and unit economics.
• Strong analytical foundation in economics and statistics, reinforced by real-world application and MAP technical reps.
• Varsity golfer with demonstrated discipline, consistent performance, and leadership in team environments and community engagement.

Areas for Development

• Continued depth in core IB technicals (LBOs, three-statement builds, advanced sensitivities) will complement his already strong market and strategy intuition.
• Translating startup and PE experience into classic IB execution cadence — tighter timelines, higher volume — is the natural next step.
• With so many responsibilities, selectively prioritizing experiences that build direct deal execution reps will maximize his upside.

Projection

Ryan projects as a high-ceiling IB and long-term buy-side candidate who can add value across strategy, analysis, and communication. His combination of entrepreneurial proof-of-work, institutional exposure, and polished writing makes him a uniquely versatile early talent. As technical reps continue to stack through MAP and future roles, he is well-positioned to grow into an analyst who can operate across banking, growth equity, or VC — the type of proven MAP alum teams benefit from having back in the room for years.
