Tom Ryan

Tom Ryan is an experienced management educator and consultant who has had a long relationship with London Business School since completing his MBA here. That relationship initially included teaching on degree and executive education programmes. He later led the school’s custom executive education business in which capacity he worked with a broad spectrum of school faculty and other contributors to create programmes that provided solutions to the needs of our clients and staff. He has also contributed to the development of a number of learning simulations. He has advised a number of business schools on their own strategy and has published several papers on the topic.

As a consultant, his focus is on working with senior leadership teams in knowledge-based organisations to improve strategic and financial performance through clear market positioning and the development of necessary resources and capabilities. A key component of his approach is holding up a mirror to client organisations to provide an objective view of their reality.

Tom’s early career was as a chartered accountant, spending five years in audit with PwC and EY, before holding financial management positions in the entertainment, computer manufacturing and advertising industries. After his MBA he worked as a management consultant with AT Kearney in New York.
