Since 1993, Mr. Ryan has served as the founder and president of Lawrence Ryan International (LRI).

Prior to his tenure at LRI, Mr. Ryan held multiple positions within the United States Department of Commerce, including senior-level roles such as deputy assistant secretary for aerospace within the International Trade Administration and subsequently as deputy assistant secretary of commerce for the Technology and Aerospace Industries. His appointments aligned with the transitional period between presidential administrations, a phase that significantly influenced his professional development and ultimately guided him toward independent consulting. In these roles, Mr. Ryan collaborated closely with the business sector to formulate strategies aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of the American aerospace and high-technology industries.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Ryan gained valuable industry experience at Textron, a prominent multi-industry corporation, where he served as the vice president of Washington operations for Bell Aerospace Textron.
