About Ryan McAuliffe

In both work and life we find ourselves facilitating and navigating change and growth. Opportunities arise and we set sail, forging a path toward our desired destination. Throughout my career I’ve been selected by my company’s leadership to captain the ship on some of their most important and adventuresome journeys with our most important cargo. As a driven captain I’ve studied and planned, gathered a crew, set a course, navigated through all types of conditions and successfully landed at the desired destination. Just as important to me, my crew and my leaders enjoyed the journey, would sail with me again, and are eager to go further and do more. I am an experienced and adept manager with a proven track record of successfully planning, implementing and executing complex programs, driving key business initiatives and running day to day operations. I seek the best path forward, partnering with stakeholders to plan and execute. I unlock potential, anticipate challenges, uncover and establish best practices, and facilitate harmony and growth through structured thought leadership. As a manager and partner, I look to bring out the best in others, to be well-organized, transparent and constructive. I create and unlock potential by designing, developing and executing well-constructed plans and removing obstacles.
