Profile bio
About Ryan Peterson
Ryan Peterson is a GM Azure Maps at Microsoft. Colleagues describe him as "Ryan is very versatile and a rare combination of gifts. He is the best product manager/project sponsor/project champion I have ever worked with. Without him there would have been very small chance of delivering Telenav's huge OpenStreetMaps project that I was the project manager for. His leadership, passion for work, and attention to detail carried OpenStreetMaps project from beginning to the full delivery. Ryan is a great asset to any team and project.", "Ryan is a true visionary and entrepreneur building from the ground up his own company TrafficGauge (acquired a few years back) and taking to market many successful consumer products. More recently, Ryan disrupted the mapping world with Telenav launching the first turn-by-turn navigation mobile app based on OpenStreetMap enhanced thousand times over with vehicle probe data. Ryan's accomplishments were realized with great technical insights, business smarts and forming/leading focused and cohesive teams with a "get things done" attitude. Consider yourself lucky if you work with Ryan, you'll learn a ton and excel while having fun. I wish him continued success with his projects.", and "Ryan is an outstanding forward-thinker but also a realistic manager. He knows how to balance the amount of energy spent on addressing day-to-day issues vs. developing a future strategy, while making progress on both fronts simultaneously. While Ryan was strategically investing time building the necessary business connections and re-architecting the company's move from licensed-based maps ($$$) to crowd-sourced maps ($) over the course of a couple of years, he also found the time to manage and support me in meeting quarterly goals of moving the then-current product moving forward as needed. As an experienced person who reported to Ryan, I always felt that I had just the right amount of support from him, allowing me to work independently most of the time while always being there when I needed his support, ready to contribute actionable advice. I highly recommend Ryan as an excellent Manager of both people and business strategy."
