With 11 years of experience, he has built and scaled learning and development initiatives at institutions like NYU, Washington University, and Google, managing six-figure budgets, multi-week curriculum, and cross-functional teams. He pairs program design and data-driven impact measurement (Qualtrics/Tableau) with hands-on recruitment and staffing operations for technical roles, having supported hiring pipelines at TikTok and Google. An interdisciplinary filmmaker and stage director, Ryan weaves narrative practice into equitable EDI programming and creative industry collaborations.
