As a seasoned leader in CRM and business process optimization, Ryan Redmond brings over two decades of experience to the dynamic world of small business technology. From the disciplined decks of the USS Enterprise, where he served as a Machinist Mate in the Navy Nuclear Power Program, to the entrepreneurial journey of founding Customer Dynamics and now Optrua, his career has been driven by a passion for efficiency, innovation, and the power of well-implemented systems.
