Colleagues describe him as "Few people have had the opportunity to report to a manager who is also a coach - but when I worked with Ryan it was clear I had the best of both worlds. Working under Ryan for over 18 months gave me a clear picture of his professionalism and determination to win. I was particularly impressed with Ryan's ability to handle even the toughest clients effortlessly. I was always in awe with Ryan's ability to command a room and get people on board with the same idea. No matter how tense a situation got, Ryan was able to tackle the challenge by breaking down the necessary steps to get the job done. As a team member or leader, Ryan earns my highest recommendation." and "I had the privilege to directly partner with Ryan to sell consulting at Forrester during 2011 and 2012. From day one, Ryan impressed with his intelligent approach to selling, his ability to manage tough clients and deals, his control over the sales cycle, and his drive to win. He was consistently one of the top sellers in the company and was a natural leader through his work ethic, attention to detail and integrity. I’ve had a lot of great colleagues along the way, but Ryan is one who I’ve kept in close contact with since we both left Forrester. He has impressive and valuable insights on SaaS sales, team building, how to build culture within a sales organization, and how to effectively lead. I always come away from our conversations fired up and ready to bring a few new ideas to my team. I’m looking forward to seeing him take over his own team soon."
