Thomas M. Ryan
Co-Founder & CEO
Since founding ICR in 1998, Tom and his senior team have grown the firm into one of the largest, most respected and most impactful agencies in the world. He has studied public companies, their value creation initiatives and communications strategies for over 30 years and has used his experience as a former sell-side analyst/investment banker to advise hundreds of high-profile companies spanning numerous industries. This includes Abbott, Keurig Green Mountain, Chipotle, Wendy’s, Texas Roadhouse, and Legg Mason to name a few.
As a true partner to corporate clients, Tom’s advice is solely geared toward building and preserving C-Suite credibility and reputation, which is a key driver of valuation and capital costs. This, in turn, leads to his clients becoming the employer of choice, the logical exit for companies looking to sell, and other untold opportunities for reinvestment and capital deployment.
Tom enjoys being with his family and friends, traveling internationally, listening to live music, and spending time in Big Sky, Montana and Jupiter, FL.
