Ryan Noel is a Chief of Staff and Strategic Advisor to the Dean at University of Michigan Marsal Family School of Education. He possess expertise in cross functional team leadership, financial analysis, strategic planning, nonprofits, marketing and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Ryan joined us when we were still a tiny, struggling grassroots nonprofit in South Africa. Within weeks, he whipped us into shape...set up financial systems, simplified payroll, and put us on the road to a strong financial infrastructure. In addition to providing us with invaluable service, he became a friend...meeting every challenge with dedication, humor, and hard work. I tried to entice him away from Pfizer for a life in Cape Town, but he wasn't ready or a life as an expat. Ryan is truly extraordinary." and "Ryan and I worked together in a fast paced Internet start-up that was only about 5 years ahead of its time. Ryan was very adept, despite being new to this space, at understanding the rather complex aspects of the business...from global market development involving foreign business partners and governments, innovation and intellectual property, to aspects of marketing and regulatory policy. On many occasions he was able to synthesize this knowledge in performing his duties and bring exceptional insight to the company in the process. If you're just looking for a steward to a process, look elsewhere, but if your problems require someone who can understand complex systems and think strategically, he's your guy."
