About Nathan Ryan

I am a technically oriented business professional with a unique diverse background of experiences. My entire career has been, in one way or another, bringing innovative new products to market. I have held roles designing new products, being an engineering leader, managing NPD projects and most recently global responsibility over product lines. In the past I have analyzed competitive organizations and pricing to influence corporate decisions, managed multiple brands, improved product development processes, developed long-term product line strategy road-maps, developed products working with international NPD and Sales groups and managed international market introductions. I strive to improve market share through product innovation, price positioning improvements and holistic management of full product life cycles.
