He possess expertise in sponsorship, marketing, sports marketing, management, marketing strategy and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I worked closely with Nick Ryan for six years in his roles at Kelly Racing and he was always a pleasure to deal with. He is cool and calm under pressure; always did his best to be accommodating, without being a “yes man” and was able to juggle many balls at the same time, whilst making them all seem equally important. At the time Kelly Racing were at the forefront of partner engagement and together we were able to execute programs that would normally require much bigger budgets, through being really clear on objectives and outcomes. Nick’s skills are totally transferrable and I would recommend Nick to any business seeking to use their commercial partnership to better engage with their customer base." and "Few people have the opportunity to report to a manager who is also a coach and mentor - but I did when I reported to Nick. Nick always had the best interest of the company and strongly encouraged my professional growth. I was always in awe of Nick’s ability to juggle multiple projects at once and his knowledge and experience always made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. Nick has the ability to capture a room and his skills in sales, negotiation, motivation, public speaking and sports management were extremely admirable. It was an absolute pleasure to have to have worked with Nick and any employee would be lucky to have him as a manager!"
