Ryan was also part of a small team that led restructuring negotiations in a multibillion-dollar international bankruptcy where Barclays was chair of the official committee of unsecured creditors. Further, Ryan was involved in the development and execution of strategies for the purposes of protecting and optimizing the Barclays balance sheet, which included managing related sales processes.

In his previous role at Barclays, Ryan performed risk analysis on structured and complex transactions, managing a portfolio of over $20 billion exposure across various asset classes and sectors, including participating in structuring and managing one of the largest loans ($12.6 billion) ever made by Barclays. He joined Barclays in 2008 from Bank of America, where he spent five years in New York and London focused on equity derivatives, fixed income derivatives, and structured products risk management. Before joining Bank of America, Ryan began his career as an analyst with Lehman Brothers.
