Hi, I'm Ryan.
I am the Chief Product Officer at Expect, a London-based climate tech startup focused on enterprise decarbonisation.
Formerly, I held lead and executive product roles at Mozilla, Simple (acquired), Thunderhead (acquired), and CartHook (acquired).
I consulted with product management teams in enterprise and growth-stage organizations to create a culture that values customer outcomes over feature outputs. Previous clients included REI, IHG, BP, Adidas, MURAL, and others.
I've built a few startups too — I founded the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer training platform Cram Session (acquired), co-founded the location-based service Shizzow, and founded the HIPAA-compliant food and symptom journal Tummy.
For my side project, I write about and photograph making sausage and bacon from scratch at Meat Club.
I live in London with my wife and daughter — they're the bee's knees. I grew up in Ohio, and I spent an amazing 15 years in Portland, Oregon.
You may find me on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
Previous side projects and writing include:
- Peppercorn — pandemic grocery delivery to support London small businesses
- Foodgeeks — Recipes and food data
- Winegeeks — Wines and wine info
