I had the pleasure of employing Ryan as a Senior Consultant on the Finance Team for close to 18 months. While he was initially slotted to assist in coverage for an employee on leave, he quickly made himself indispensable to our team. He enthusiastically accepted all assignments and went beyond requirements by enhancing and streamlining current processes. He pointed out areas where potential improvements would be beneficial and presented well-thought-out suggestions on how to institute the necessary changes. He consistently embodied the highest level of diligence, perseverance, and professionalism.
In addition to finance assignments, Ryan became a valued member of our ERP implementation team. Our IT leaders commented on his outstanding contributions. He truly played an integral role in our successful implementation. I highly recommend him to any company considering an additional resource to supplement their team.
