Within a few years he had distinguished himself and earned a well deserved promotion. A professional that can do it all including classic IE analysis, sophisticated data analysis, interacting with all levels, and helping to set strategic direction. I'd hire Ryan back in a heart beat if he moved back to the area.", "Ryan worked for me for a little less than two years. In that time, he helped me make significant progress in initiating and implementing a operational excellence program. Ryan is not only bright, but he easily gets the big picture and can translate that into action on the floor. He gets along well with all levels in the organization. He is a good presenter and an even better listener. Ryan would be a tremendous asset to any team, is always willing to pitch in and do whatever it takes to get results.", and "I have had the pleasure of working with Ryan over the past two years as his organization has set a path to implement simulation modeling as a competitive tool. Ryan has not only been intrumental towards keeping this initiative on track but has also provided excellent council around how to navigate through the culture of ULINE and achieve project acceptance and bottom-line results. Technically, Ryan is an extremely sharp individual with a good eye for project details, and he has continuously shown a desire for excellence that has greatly contributed to the success of our project."
