Bio
Stephen C. Steiner, Ph.D.
As a former PDINH Senior Consultant, I worked closely with Ryan for three years and had the opportunity to collaborate with him many times on devising solutions to client problems of varying magnitude. Ryan is not exaggerating his broad client portfolio and distinguished track record as a global sales executive. For example, with a large international energy client, Ryan helped frame several effective leadership development solutions that enabled critical capability building as leaders' roles were transforming to support a new business strategy. With another Fortune 500 client (recently acquired by its industry's top global firm), he guided a key stakeholder group in piloting and adopting many best practices for high potential talent development, retention, and deployment. Ryan's approach is client-centric and pragmatic, yet coupled with keen business acumen, professionalism, and a winning personal flair. With Ryan on board, clients and colleagues trust that his experience and expertise will bring solutions that drive sustainable business results.

Ryan’s ability to build trust with clients is unparalleled. His ability to constantly provide strategic value in every client interaction he has, is a key reason why many chief people officers in Houston look to our firm for world class consulting services. And he does so with humility and a desire to serve. There is no one who is more committed to the success of their clients and to aligning their company’s offerings to the needs of the marketplace, than Ryan. He is thoughtful in his presentation of ideas, creative in his solutions and exceptionally reliable. It is always a pleasure to collaborate with him and I look forward to every opportunity to do so.
