Colleagues describe him as "Ryan is an incredible human being. I was blessed to work with Ryan in several different roles at USAA, from chief of staff to program management. Ryan has had a very successful career, but he is humble and treats everyone in the organization with the same level of respect and appreciation. He truly is a servant leader and carries so much of the burden for his team and his partners. Ryan is also an amazing general athlete who can walk into any area of an organization and make an immediate impact. I would truly follow Ryan anywhere - he is an amazing leader who always leads by example and has an open door. He invests in his teams and his partners fully. USAA is lucky to have him.", "Working for Ryan was one of the best professional experiences in my career thus far. He very effectively balanced empowering me to do great work on my own with providing coaching and guidance on the areas of greatest impact in my projects. I always felt like he helped mold my work into something great, rather than completely deconstructing and building it back into his original vision. He truly valued both the work I did and how I did it, and always gave all credit to the boots on the ground; even when he was in a position to accept that credit himself. On the flip side, he took "extreme ownership" of any opportunity for improvement in the work coming from his team. Having a leader who both builds you up in the good times AND shields you externally while holding you accountable internally in the bad times is a rare privilege, and Ryan epitomizes this. He also constantly put me in situations that stretched my capabilities and pushed me just far enough outside of my comfort zone for healthy growth. I am very grateful for Ryan's leadership and mentorship in my career.", and "Ryan is without a doubt one of the strongest leaders I've had the pleasure to work with. He is the epitome of servant based leadership in action and has been invaluable in leading our teams through extremely complicated and high pressure challenges. He has incredibly high learning agility, is extremely humble yet also confident, is engaging, smart, focused and will give selflessly of himself to enable the team and organization to succeed. He has very strong business and organizational acumen and was able to transition from high impact work directly with the CEO to continued high impact in the HR organization where he led all regulatory efforts across Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, Total Rewards, Operations and Strategic Workforce Planning. He has the rare combination of a very high 'what' combined with a very strong how and is one of the most highly respected leaders in the organization."
