More than two years ago, Ryan took a chance and hired me at GoDaddy. As my first manager, he helped me understand the company's working process and always made me feel welcome. He is innovative, organized, and always open to ideas and suggestions. He has made me improve in many professional areas and taught me about UX research and multi-tasking skills. A wonderful sense of humor in combination with deep empathy enabled him to lift my spirits in exceptionally stressful situations. It was a pleasure to be managed by him as he has exceptional expertise in leadership, coaching, and motivation.
