About Ryan Hatfield

I’m a seasoned United States Air Force Special Operations Officer with 21+ years of service—and the mission continues. These days, I’m bringing that same operational intensity and team-first mindset into my role as an Operations Program Integrator at L3Harris | Aerojet Rocketdyne—supporting complex aerospace programs that demand precision, coordination, and unwavering ownership. Throughout my military and civilian career, I’ve thrived at the intersection of people, process, and performance. Whether it was leading multifunctional teams through global special operations or now navigating intricate timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional alignment in aerospace, one truth holds firm: Trust and teamwork always win. As a servant leader, I’ve been humbled to lead at every echelon—building cultures rooted in clarity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. From aligning with the National Defense Strategy to integrating with corporate objectives, I’ve learned that mission success happens when vision meets execution. Some of the work I’m most proud of: • Leading high-impact initiatives that transform operations • Pioneering process improvements and best practices across joint and interagency teams • Building cross-functional collaboration both in person and virtually (yes—MS Teams can be a weapon when used right) Operations, project management, and standard-setting execution are where I live—and thrive. From forward-operating bases to aerospace boardrooms, I bring a calm urgency, a bias for action, and a relentless pursuit of outcomes. But above all? I lead with purpose. And I genuinely love being part of teams where people own the mission together. CliftonStrengths: Strategic | Analytical | Significance | Focus | Achiever Let’s keep building. Let’s keep leading.
