Background

About Ryan Whitmore

Head of Development Water Americas, with 18+ years of experience in the HVAC industry. My career spans roles as a mechanical development engineer, project leader, and team leader—bringing a well-rounded blend of deep engineering expertise and people leadership. I have a strong foundation in project management, product development, component and system verification, process improvement, strategic planning, risk management, and problem solving. I thrive in collaborative, cross-functional environments, applying clear communication and effective planning across both local and global teams. In my current role, I split my time equally between leading a high-performing team of engineers and driving development work directly—managing technical project tasks, leading epics, and contributing to engineering outcomes. I prioritize sound technical decision-making, value-driven design, and design for manufacturability. I’m committed to quality, continuous improvement, and coaching engineers to grow and succeed—fostering a team culture centered on openness, innovation, and alignment with business objectives.
