Ryan leads HAA's work in hospitality asset management, development strategy, and investment advisory, bringing a cross-functional view shaped by hotel operations, valuation, brand development, and real estate investment.
He began his career in hotel operations before joining HVS, where he helped launch the firm's Phoenix office and advised institutional clients on asset value, feasibility, and repositioning. He later joined Radisson Hotel Group's development team, playing a central role in the brand's 2018 relaunch and expansion across North America.
In 2020, Ryan launched his own advisory practice focused on real estate consulting, brokerage, and co-sponsorship of extended-stay hotel developments — work that led directly to AssetVUE, HAA's proprietary platform for connecting hotel operations with real estate value. Today, he acts as a deeply embedded advisor across the asset lifecycle, from development strategy through stabilization and disposition.
