Ryan brings with him more than 15 years of regional leadership experience in both Zebra Technologies and Motorola Solutions. This assignment follows 8 successful years of leading the region as Zebra APAC's Vice President of Sales, where he was instrumental in building a strong sales structure and developing Zebra's award-winning PartnersFirst programme across Asia Pacific.
