Cynthia Ryan

Cynthia Ryan is the executive director of VeDA, where she has led the organization’s growth as a trusted global resource for people living with dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance. Under her leadership, VeDA has expanded its educational programs, strengthened its advocacy efforts, and built a vibrant community connecting patients, health care providers, and researchers. Cynthia’s dedication to VeDA’s mission is deeply personal—her mother lives with Ménière’s disease, vestibular migraine, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)—giving her a first-hand understanding of the challenges the patient with a vestibular disorder face and fueling her commitment to “make vestibular visible.”
