About the practice.
temio Consulting helps HR tech, employee benefits, and perk-solution companies build broker channel partnerships into a durable source of growth.
Most companies already have relationships, conversations, and some wins. What is missing is whatever makes the channel compound.
What we focus on.
Channels work when a few fundamentals are in place at the same time:
- Positioning that is clear enough for a broker to stand behind.
- Brokers who trust the recommendation because the product is oriented to what the end client needs.
- Execution that holds after the sale.
- Presence that stays relevant over time without becoming noise.
We bring structure to those elements so the channel becomes predictable, not dependent on any one person.
Ryan Taguding, Principal.
Ryan leads the practice. He is a cross-functional operator by background, having worked across sales, partnerships, marketing, customer success, product, and marketplace strategy. That range produced a specific view of the broker channel: one where the channel performs as a function of alignment across the business, not as the output of any single team.
Along the way he has built and exited businesses, modernized product offerings, and spent years embedded with founders and leadership teams on the strategic and operational decisions that determine whether a company reaches its next stage.
Based in Baltimore, Maryland, Ryan advises HR tech, employee benefits, and perk-solution companies across the United States on broker channel strategy and activation.
Outside the practice.
Most of Ryan's time outside temio comes back to building things that operate at scale and hold up under real-world conditions.
He owns a youth camps business that serves thousands of kids each summer through partnerships with parks and recreation systems and schools. The business runs across multiple locations with large seasonal teams, where consistency, staffing, and execution matter daily.
He serves on the Maryland state board of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, supporting a network of more than one hundred staff across the state. Within that role he leads the board's annual fundraising effort: a scholarship fund that sends kids to FCA camp who otherwise could not afford to go. Camp shapes young people in ways that outlast a summer, and the scholarship exists so that experience does not hinge on what a family can pay.
Alongside those commitments, Ryan is building an early-stage, AI-driven educational tool with his wife, a special education teacher. It helps children strengthen creativity and structured thinking through guided storytelling, and her classroom experience shapes how the tool is designed.
The common thread across all of it is simple: build systems that work in practice, not just in theory, and deliver experiences people can rely on.
A note on the name.
temio is a piece of his late father's name. Artemio lived steadily, intentionally, and focused on results without needing attention for them. Carrying part of his name into the practice is a deliberate way of keeping those values inside the way this business runs. The lowercase t is where that legacy lives.
