Background

About Stephen Ryan

Versatile professional leader with 24+ years of CRO, Pharma, and Biotech experience. Combined with a strong learning agility, my professional experiences in IT, PM, Clinical Programming, Clinical Data Science, eCOA, quality oversight, process improvement, and provider management position me with the unique perspective to understand business needs and approach projects and problems from various angles. Seeing the larger picture, I am able to deliver innovative solutions that not only improve process and efficiency, but ultimately save money. I am capable of wearing many hats, changing them on the fly and quickly picking up new hats along my journey. I care about your data! I thrive in a fast paced, high intensity environment and providing high quality output. I am a hands on leader who will jump in the trenches to help out when needed and won't ask someone to do something I wouldn't do myself. I lead by example and have successfully driven employee morale through tough situations. I have lead initiatives that resulted in improved operational efficiency and profitability. I am capable of managing global staff across several operations in a worldwide organization. I am not only a critical thinker, but a critical doer! I excel at peeling the layers away to find root causes and effective solutions to operations. My current operational accountability includes a small team but have been responsible for ~45 global staff across Clinical SAS Programming, Data Standards, Medical Coding Integration, Data Extractions, Data Acquisition and Integrations, and IxR/eCOA Implementation.
