DIRECTOR READYMEALS OPERATIONS, ALBERTSONS COMPANIES

What makes Ryan a Champion of Change?

Ryan has supported multiple planning initiatives with a deep level of capital expenses, development of internal rates of return and how to share data in an influential way to impact results. He leads the complex and successful capex investment requests in Deli and Bakery at Albertsons. During the time frame of January through November 2022, Ryan led ReadyMeals implementation planning for capex deployment for hundreds of locations. Ryan helped lead multi- level stakeholders through preplanning, implementation and coordination of when and where to deploy refrigerated cases and point of sale assets as the company launched, trained and implemented ReadyMeals throughout multiple divisions and banners.

What makes Ryan an effective leader?

Ryan is a go-to person, as he understands how to work with division and national leadership stakeholders (including construction, design planning, permit planning tracking, coordination of deployment of division leads and assets to train new associates on how to kick off new products). In the face of manufacturing and supply chain constraints, Ryan is able to work with the internal construction team and manufacturing partners to prioritize time in the schedule to build needed cases and roll out company initiatives.
