“Ryan was on the Visual Team for 4 years and directly reported into me for 2 years. He was focused on a variety of communication, technology, and operational initiatives. Ryan’s strength is in his ability to think outside the box, lean in with a learning mindset and challenge thoughtfully to drive the best business outcomes. He is considerate in his approach, bringing partners along on the intent, being adaptable if the findings determine a pivot is required, and clearly communicating the expectations throughout a project.

Ryan’s leadership helped launch new approaches to field communication, with key deliverables that enabled a transition from physical environments into virtual experiences impacting across our total Team. Ryan would bring his passion for innovation, drive for progress over perfection, and curiosity to deliver new and relevant ideas to any role.”

He can jump into any subject matter foreign to him, build an understanding, and frame up recommendations on path forward—all with incredible speed and stoytelling. He masterfully builds connections across complicated matrix CFTs, tapping into their expertise to further the initiatives he is driving. Additionally, he is a thoughtful leader of people—I’ve seen him firsthand coach his team, supporting through continuous development, improving their performance in role, and preparing them for promotion. Ryan is highly passionate, easy to work with, dependable, and action oriented. All of these attributes earn him instant respect from partners and leadership. He is the one you count on to get things done. Ryan would be an incredible addition to any leadership team and frankly, I would move mountains to work with him again!”
