Ryan M. is a Senior Strategic Account Director - Global. Colleagues describe them as "I first met Ryan when he was in a Commercial New Business Sales Role at Brandwatch. As a top performer on that team, I was pleased to see his promotion to an Enterprise Account Executive. When he continued to be a top performer on his new team, I knew I wanted talent like that on my own team! I was thrilled when I was able to extend him an offer to join my Social Networks/New Media team as a Senior Account Director. He very quickly learned the nuanced differences between his experiences in New Business sales vs Account Management. He hit the ground running and built great relationships based on mutual trust with all of his key stakeholders. This led him to a stellar performance in 2023 followed by the top performance in the company (YTD) in 2024 hitting his annual quota by the end of Q1! With his combination of tenacity and client rapport, he is on track to finish the year as the Top Performing sales person at Brandwatch." and "Ryan McDermott is one of the most charismatic and charming team members I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He always develops deep relationships with his clients that transcend 9-5 responsibilities and strengthens bonds with stakeholders. A consummate professional, Ryan is always the most prepared team member on every call and in every room. Traveling throughout the US and abroad with Ryan his tenacity and thorough execution have become a cornerstone of how we address client issues onsite. While I worked with Ryan I developed a profound respect for his ability to manage extremely complex internal relationships. On more than one occasion Ryan brought folks to the table and led troubleshooting exercises that benefited both client and colleague. "
