I had the pleasure of working with Ryan on strategic growth projects at Ascend Learning. He is a highly creative and skilled product leader and has a tremendous amount of passion for the work he performs. Ryan builds strong relationships internally and externally and his accountable approach to his work delivers consistent results. As a team member or leader, Ryan earns my strong recommendation.
-Holly Garner, Vice President of Strategy
Ryan's approach to product visioning and road-map development is rooted in a thorough understanding of a) what problem can be solved, b) is there a unique, better way to solve it and, c) can substantial profit be made as a result. His business acumen is a great complement to his technical and product talent and experience.

I worked closely with Ryan in my role of VP Product Management at Therapeutic Research Center. I'm impressed with Ryan's ability to easily navigate between product strategy and execution. Ryan's an intelligent and gifted Product team leader. I highly recommend Ryan to lead your Product team if you want to move quickly in a dynamic and fast paced environment.

From the moment Ryan stepped into the classroom, I knew he was an exceptional man as evidenced by his manners, his physical appearance, and his conscientiousness. In the classroom he impressed me with his strong personal desire to succeed. He exhibited a strong work ethic and always strove to improve his verbal and written skills. He was open to feedback and always took my feedback and his peers’ feedback seriously. Ryan was never content with mediocrity, and as a result, he finished at the top of the class.
-Carol Lampe, Dean
Ryan and I worked together on a contract that was designed to transform and streamline a company's quote to cash process. Ryan was a collaborative professional, extremely talented and visionary in his approach to his responsibilities. Ryan set up a requirements traceability matrix in SharePoint for the team, developed a system to link and integrate the multiple swim lanes of the project. It was evident that Ryan was well respected by fellow Business Analyst team members, Project Managers and the Executive staff for his leadership and support during this project.
