The people you meet are the people who deliver.

Ryan Groves

Co-Chief Executive Officer & Global Chief Technology Officer

Ryan is the Founder of Xpand-Net and serves as Co-CEO, leading the company’s US business, global strategy, and technology direction.

He has been working in networking and infrastructure since 2003, building his career using a hands-on approach in environments where scale, availability, and security are non-negotiable. From leading teams early at AT&T to running Professional Services at A10 Networks across EMEA and SAARC, he has consistently delivered where execution matters most.

Xpand-Net was built on that same principle: execution in environments where failure isn’t an option. Ryan remains closely involved in architecture, migrations, and complex problem-solving across ADC, DDoS, and multi-vendor platforms.

He still spends time in the detail because that’s where the real problems are solved.

Chris James-Killer

Co-Chief Executive Officer, EMEA

Chris serves as Co-CEO of Xpand-Net, with full ownership of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) business territory, including sales, delivery, and regional growth.

At Xpand-Net, Chris is responsible for driving growth across EMEA while ensuring execution keeps pace. He operates across both commercial and delivery, ensuring what is sold is delivered and delivered properly.
