About Ryan

I grew up as a diplomat’s kid, moving across countries and cultures throughout my childhood. It taught me early on how to adapt, connect with people from all walks of life, and embrace the unknown. Those experiences shaped my career in technology consulting, where I’ve worked with diverse teams to deliver impactful solutions for clients around the world. From transforming financial systems for federal agencies to leading Salesforce implementations for global banks, I’ve built a career on solving complex problems and driving meaningful change. During my time at Deloitte, I specialized in product management and customer experience design, working across industries to deliver user-focused solutions. I led cross-functional teams of developers, designers, and business analysts on multi-million-dollar projects, including the largest Salesforce financial services implementation to date. Beyond project delivery, I’m passionate about teaching and mentoring—whether it’s training 2,000+ university students in Salesforce skills or helping colleagues navigate career transitions. Currently, I’m pursuing a dual MBA and MS in Design Innovation at Kellogg, focusing on human-centered design, product management, and design thinking. These disciplines are at the heart of my approach to problem-solving. I believe the best solutions come from deeply understanding the people you’re trying to help. Whether it’s through ethnographic research, prototyping, or testing, I aim to create products and strategies that truly meet user needs. I’m also heading to INSEAD Singapore for a study abroad program, which reflects my lifelong desire to build a global career and life. Outside of work and school, I’m an adventure seeker who’s always looking for new experiences. I’ve tried everything from bungee jumping to completing the Spartan trifecta in Hawaii. I’m also a huge foodie, constantly on the hunt for the best local spots and unusual eats (yes, I’ve eaten scorpion). But what I enjoy most is helping others find their path. Whether it’s guiding someone through a career pivot, preparing for business school, or breaking into a new industry, I believe in leveling the playing field and opening doors for others the way mentors have done for me. If you’re looking for a coach who combines a global perspective with a deep focus on user-centered solutions, I’d love to help. My approach is rooted in listening, understanding, and working together to create a plan that fits your unique goals. Whether you’re exploring new opportunities, preparing for a major transition, or trying to break into a competitive field, I’m here to share what I’ve learned and help you succeed.
