Testimonials
Ryan at Blue 7 Advisors has always exceeded our expectations with his attention to detail, deep industry knowledge, and ease to work with. His real-world experience obtained from being part of an acquired company and managing complex integration projects, to eventually leading M&A initiatives at multiple public companies where he owned the process end-to-end, provides him with a unique view and indispensable expertise to be a best-in-class partner to his clients.
Chad Dannemann, Founder
Ryan has been a colleague of mine for over a decade. For the last five years he has been working with my co-founder and I as a strategic advisor to our water technology startup, AquaPyr. He is careful in his work, analyzes problems efficiently, and has always provided sound advice to address our challenges. His insights & candid feedback have helped us reflect on our business plan, further refine our approach to market, and influence how we structure our business to create a top-tier customer experience.
Ulrika Lindberg, Former VP Global Service
I met Ryan after Alfa Laval acquired the wastewater treatment company he was working at, Ashbrook Simon-Hartley (AS-H). Ryan took over full responsibility for the post-acquisition activities that I had created for the AS-H parts & service portfolio, working closely with management, operations, and sales teams located all around the world to successfully execute critical integration projects and ultimately transform the service business into its new format.
Tony McDonald, CEO
Ryan was part of my core management team as a Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, where he helped to further refine our inorganic strategy, generate a regular pipeline of potential targets, and execute our diligence work streams. He engaged closely with our management team to educate them about the M&A process, and in turn leveraged their deep market expertise to reflect upon our existing vision for what an ideal acquisition target could be.
