Ryan Blacklock

As a Venezuelan-Canadian entrepreneur with a passion for cross-cultural collaboration, I’m the co-founder & CEO of NearshoreNow — a specialized nearshore staffing firm that helps North American companies scale efficiently with top-tier talent from Latin America. My background in business development across international markets has shown me how powerful nearshoring can be when it’s done right — fast execution, local insight, and lasting relationships are key. That’s what we focus on at NearshoreNow. I thrive on connecting with others, opening new doors, and building ventures that create value across borders. Whether working with clients, collaborators, or talent partners, I bring energy, accountability, and a team-first mindset shaped by years in competitive sports and entrepreneurial environments. If you’re exploring nearshoring or looking for a partner to help you grow with Latin American talent — let’s connect.
