A proven communications professional with more than a decade of experience, Ryan works with industry leaders, challenger brands and start-ups to create and execute programs that improve corporate reputation, increase shareholder value, and accelerate brand awareness and business growth.
Currently, Ryan works on the Corporate Communications team at NRG Energy – a Fortune 200 company – where he creates and manages executive communications and brand reputation marketing communications programs. He’s specifically focused explaining the transformation of the energy industry by deconstructing incredible stories of innovation found hidden behind layers of misconceptions about both how power is created and how we'll reach a cleaner energy future through the Business Solutions group. Ryan simultaneously serves as the Director of Communications at the New York Fashion Tech Lab: The Fashion and Retail industries’ first accelerator dedicated to bringing together best in class brands with cutting-edge technologies that are transforming the ways consumers interact with and experience fashion. From the start of the non-profit program in 2013, Ryan has been responsible for all communications and messaging for the program, which has included spotlight stories on the accelerator, its founders, and most importantly, the companies and entrepreneurs who have created the next wave of fashion and retail technologies. During his time leading the East Coast enterprise and technology group at MWW, Ryan oversaw the development and management of integrated communications programs that help boost brand relevance via a combination of paid, owned and earned strategies. With Bite Global, Ryan managed day-to-day and new business operations for the New York office and developed the company's SAP account portfolio from preexisting Sybase work to include three of SAP's main business units. His work won him an award for "Best Use of Digital in a B2B Technology Campaign" from Bulldog Reporter. Prior to joining Bite, Ryan was responsible for development and implementation of integrated promotions and media campaigns that raised the profiles and brand images of several high profile clients including Citrix Online, Polycom and Sprint. He also credits his time at Kaplow working on eBay and Skype which provided him with a solid background in the B2B and Consumer Tech industries.
