More About Ryan

What activities do you like to do outside of the office?

Outside of the office, I like to maintain an active lifestyle by running, biking, and hiking throughout the Bay Area’s local trails and national parks. When I’m not being active, you can typically find me cooking or exploring San Francisco's exhaustive list of restaurants.

How would you describe the culture at Andersen?

If I had to narrow down Andersen’s culture into two words, they would be “teamwork” and “mentorship.” The firm’s unique commitment to investing in its people has been evident throughout my time here, and has been invaluable to my development and a key driver for the growth of the firm. I believe Andersen’s culture, which promotes dialogue and open communication between levels, has helped me learn and become a better manager. Everyone here has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge that helps make them more well-rounded individuals. Being surrounded by colleagues who are committed to providing the best possible service motivates me to improve every day.

Describe your career path and how you chose Andersen.

I wanted a career that would be both challenging and engaging with a firm that provided a lot of opportunity. Valuation offered both the quantitative and qualitative challenges that would allow me to continue learning deep into my career, as well as the ability to be involved in all aspects of an engagement. The firm’s unique investment in its staff and growth as a firm reinforced the abundance of opportunities at Andersen.
