About

My name is William Ryan and I am an Operations & Logistics executive with a history of driving increased efficiency, reducing costs, and achieving higher profitability with fewer resources. I have spent my entire career successfully developing and implementing strategic operational plans that result in significant bottom line success. A specialty of mine is total operational and financial turnaround. I have concurrently managed over 100 locations with up to $500 million in annual revenue. My success lies in continuously analyzing all cost areas and identifying and capitalizing on opportunities for cost and efficiency improvement. During my time with Velocity Express, I moved my region to #1 in profitability and customer satisfaction in just 18 months, generating 65% of total profits. Prior to coming on board, operational performance was at 88.1%. By 2011, after I took lead, operational performance had increased to 99.5%. I am also known for my ability to motivate teams and raise the bar through the use of performance metrics to drive continuously higher levels of performance and customer satisfaction. I am also a champion of ongoing training, management mentoring, and succession planning. If you have any questions or would like to network, connect with me on LinkedIn.
