Professional References

"Working with Ryan in an early-stage biotechnology setting revealed his excellent organizational mindset and ability to design and implement effective manufacturing processes. He has a firm command of GMP/GTP protocols, FDA guidance, supply chain, and quality control measures. He is an asset to any team initiating or scaling technically complex projects."

Devin Miller, M.D.
“Ryan and I worked shoulder-to-shoulder to plan, launch, & scale a biotech manufacturing operation. During this time, Ryan demonstrated characteristics of a true business leader that inspired those around him. A few that come to mind are his resourcefulness, dedication, and organization. Ryan operates extremely well in obscurity and will leverage all resources at his disposal to find creative solutions to problems. Despite having several plates spinning at once, Ryan manages to always get the right information to the right places at the right time which allowed his teams to meet (and often beat) their timelines. Not only did he excel in the startup environment, he transitioned seamlessly to managing and stabilizing daily operations. Ryan's immense aptitude for project management and product development is enhanced by his personality which remained calm and considerate towards his constituents in even the most stressful of environments. Simply put, he's the first guy I'd call, if I had an innovate product to commercialize, or a complex operation that needed steady leadership.”

Andrew West
“I've worked with Ryan on multiple cleanroom projects over the last two years. Ryan is one of the most responsive, organized, and well-informed clients I've ever worked with. It's clear that he takes pride in everything he does, and that shows in his knowledge of his product and his quality of work. Ryan is a team player who does his part to accomplish every goal set for him. His organizational skills were crucial to getting our work done on time and on budget, and Ryan worked closely with our team to ensure multiple successful construction projects. He is a great asset for any company, and a person that I would gladly work with again at any point in time.”

Adam Rzepka
“Ryan is a true manufacturing and operations professional with tremendous capacity to lead. He has an entrepreneurial spirit and works well with his team. He is calm, collected, and rational in the face of any challenges that come his way. I am looking forward to seeing him continue to do great things.”

Dr. Ryan Creek
"Ryan came into our team and made an immediate impact. He has a keen understanding of project management and operational fundamentals that elevated our team to higher standards. As a project manager, Ryan demonstrates a high level of leadership by driving consensus among cross functional teams to achieve critical goals. Clear, impactful communication and strong presentation skills make him stand out among his peers. It would be a pleasure to work side by side with Ryan again."
