Ryan Nelson brings over three decades of leadership development experience across non-profit, customer service industry, and manufacturing sectors. His exposure to manufacturing leadership began 30 years ago, learning from a mentor who rose from pushing a broom to company president—demonstrating that great leaders serve their teams, not just manage them. In today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, Ryan is transforming leadership development through innovative approaches that bridge the gap between technical expertise and effective people leadership. As founder of Circle of 5, he helps organizations build strong leaders, unite teams, and create lasting cultural change that meets the demands of modern manufacturing environments.
