Three partners who co-founded the firm — and who take the fractional executive seats themselves when a company needs an operator in the chair rather than a report about it.

Jacey Ferro

Co-Founder & Partner

Jacey Ferro is the Co-Founder of Bracey Skyway Partners, where she blends clinical insight with strategic innovation to help organizations connect care, communication, and growth. With a strong background in healthcare leadership and patient experience, Jacey brings a human-centered approach to every engagement—ensuring that strategy aligns with empathy, and growth aligns with purpose.

Her expertise spans clinical operations, sales leadership, and patient engagement, making her uniquely equipped to help healthcare and wellness brands elevate both performance and connection. Jacey's work reflects her belief that successful businesses are built on clarity, compassion, and collaboration—the same values that define Bracey Skyway Partners.

She takes the senior sales leader seat on fractional engagements: owning the number alongside the team, coaching reps through real calls, and building the account plans and patient-facing conversations that healthcare and wellness organizations actually run on. She also leads the firm's sales training, where the material comes from her own pipeline rather than a course catalog.

Brent Piepenbring, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Bracey Skyway Partners

Brent Piepenbring

Co-Founder & Managing Partner

Brent Piepenbring co-founded Bracey Skyway Partners after more than twenty years leading commercial organizations, building high-performing sales teams, and driving revenue growth across healthcare and specialty services. His premise is that most companies do not need another consultant—they need someone who has actually built the sales organization, launched the product, opened the market, and carried the number.

He works as a fractional executive: Chief Commercial Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, VP of Sales, VP of Business Development, or VP of Sales and Marketing for companies ready to accelerate. The work runs from go-to-market strategy and sales organization design through pricing, partnerships, market expansion, and the dashboards that show whether any of it is working.

Brent partners with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams across healthcare, life sciences, medical technology, professional services, and private equity portfolio companies—people who want experienced operating leadership rather than theoretical advice.

Matthew Ryan, Co-Founder & Technical Architect at Bracey Skyway Partners

Matthew Ryan

Co-Founder & Technical Architect

Matthew Ryan leads the firm's technology and innovation practice, and he starts with how a business actually operates rather than with software—sitting in the process, finding the work that is quietly eating the team's time, then building the system that does it.

At Nuvei (NASDAQ: NVEI), every commercial real estate partner meant a manually created contract and hand-entered data across payment systems; the templated DocuSign workflow he built took onboarding from months to three days. At WNY Moving, where he serves as CTO, customer communication and realtor prospecting now run automatically—the referral program produced $55K in booked revenue from 11 referrals in its first three months. At Semres, the multi-tenant SaaS platform he co-founded, a canonical event model translates data from any moving-industry CRM into one structure, so an automation is built once and works for every customer.

He takes the fractional CTO seat for companies that need technical leadership before they need a full-time hire—architecture decisions, vendor and roadmap calls, and code review of whoever is building. He also runs hands-on AI training with a Claude specialization: live sessions built around a team's real work, with custom agents per role and reference guides the team keeps using long after the sessions end.
