Ryan Clark

“Over the last year, I had the opportunity to put together a large team of pre-sales engineers. I can proudly say that Ryan set the bar for my standards. He is highly technical - and his operational background gives him creditability that one could only hope to find in a pre-sales engineer. He is also calming. He can work a room full of business and technical folks, and do so in a way that moves the opportunity in the right direction. (In other words, he is able to keep the technical guys on task by not letting them take the conversation into the weeds while ensuring they do not feel ignored, and he can keep the business folks engaged while that is going on.) When you combine Ryan's knowledge with his passion for taking care of the customer, and doing whatever it takes to be successful, you cannot lose. He is a well rounded asset, and I would not hesitate in giving him my full recommendation. (I would also hire him again in a New York minute should I have an opportunity to do so.)”

“I worked with Ryan for several months on the Ovi share project. Ryan is a great guy that is well grounded and easy to get along with. We worked together during the transition of the Ovi share project from the R&D team to the multinational operational environments and their supporting teams. I really appreciated having his vast knowledge to lean on during this phase. Ryan help me to validate my hardware and network solutions, helping to optimize the physical hardware and configuration thereof to ensure maximum redundancy and performance. I enjoyed working with Ryan and would gladly work with him again!”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan on key, strategic projects at Nokia. Ryan joined our team at a time of high pressure and stress due to changing requirements, impossible deadlines, high visibility from Sr. management and a lot of politics. Ryan hit the ground running, brought a wealth of technical expertise to the project, as well as strong business, strategic and analytical skills that we put to good use. Ryan is always calm, cool and collected, and extremely professional. Ryan was a pleasure to work with, and always delivers the highest level of quality work. He takes great pride in delivering solid, well thought out solutions and clarity around risks and mitigation plans. He stays current on a vast array of technologies, and also ensures that the technical solutions are a best fit for the customers needs. Ryan is a talented resource and we were very fortunate to have him on our team.”

“Ryan is a highly skilled, very thorough, technical resource. He was our primary architectual resource on a complex iStore build out. His superior work on both high level and detailed specifications was key to the program. I highly recommend Ryan as a solutions architect.”

“One of Ryan's greatest traits has to be, that he is rarely if ever flustered. He handles his tasks in a very a cool demeanor, so while others are running around and panicking, Ryan is the one that is bringing a clear head and systematic process to any issues that he is asked to solve. He is always in the know of the latest tech advancements, and with his experience he is able to apply that knowledge to the benefit of the company.”

“Ryan was an outstanding employee, who excelled in understanding the business needs of our complex IT projects, and was able to consistently have projects completed on time, and meet or exceed the project goals. His ability to rapidly learn, and successfully implement, new technology made me a great addition to the team.”

“Ryan is one of the most talented people I have worked with in my career. He was highly respected by everyone in his team as well as the rest of the organization. His positive attitude and sense of humor made working on any project a positive experience. Ryan's ability to understand and apply new technologies to any business environment is 2nd to none. It was a pleasure to work and learn from Ryan. If the opportunity to work with Ryan were to present itself I would jump at it any day!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Clark for a number of years at Trader Corporation. At the time I was Manager of the Backoffice Support team, and Ryan (and his team) provided most of the infrastructure we used for our applications and databases. I found Ryan to be a responsible and knowledgeable individual with a focus on efficiency and best practice -- there were many situations where Trader Corp would investigate new technologies or opportunities, and Ryan was consistently front-and-centre in selecting, evaluating and implementing these solutions to the benefit of our various operational teams. On one occasion, Ryan and I were part of a team responsible for the overnight relocation of our main office in Vancouver consisting of 5 floors of staff, computers, telephone equipment, servers, and every other form of office infrastructure. Despite adverse circumstances, the move went off with great success and Ryan played an integral part in making sure the infrastructure was up and ready for staff to use the next morning. I would recommend Ryan without hesitation and in the future, if the opportunity arose, I would consider adding Ryan to my own team.”
