ABOUT

About
Ryan Profile Photo.jpg

“Why should the customer care?” is a critical question too often overlooked. If you’re only thinking about what your product is, and not why it matters to your customers, you risk losing market share to competitors who can craft stronger stories to drive their solution.  I’ve delivered 15 years of success in launching products and working in cross functional teams, in both B2B and B2C environments. My focus is on crafting compelling stories to connect dots and solve customer needs, while providing a great user experience to drive product loyalty and customer growth.  I’m a leader who can help achieve your team’s goals. I enjoy collaboration, and as President Truman once said, “it’s amazing what a man can achieve if he doesn’t care who gets the credit.”
