Bio
Scott Goldberg
When I accepted the position to lead the Sales Organization at SinglePlatform I honestly was not sure what to expect from the team. What I found was a solid team of driven young professionals. Among that talented group I quickly learned Ryann was special. Her ability to evaluate situations and drive creative solutions showed a clear and experienced thought process. Ryann, I quickly learned had a skill set that was far beyond her experience level on paper. I have lead a number of organizations and have had strong teams and leaders as part of those organizations and I would place Ryann at the top of the list of individuals I would want to work with again. In fact the more I worked with her the more I delegated. In addition to her thought process I was impressed with her people management. She has an ability to motivate while holding a young team fully accountable for their performance. She understands the value of process, data and consistency in execution. She had a great impact on the success we experienced and the changes we implemented. My final comments which solidify my recommendation of her is to thank her for her contributions as they were significant.
