Ryan Opina

VP, Innovation & VP, Product (Interim)

Ryan has spent his career focused on understanding people. Why does someone say one thing and then do the exact opposite? Why does someone choose a certain product or service over another? Having the ability to connect the dots between market trends, consumer insights and business objectives is what allows organizations to design offerings that provide meaningful experiences.

Ryan brings a unique combination of physical and digital product design experience at Nokia and Microsoft Game Studios, executive leadership roles at Engine Digital and Beem Credit Union as well as an MBA in Design Strategy from California College of the Arts in San Francisco. By balancing desirability, viability and feasibility in all that he does, Ryan prides himself on finding new ways to apply existing and unconventional approaches to innovation, strategy and design – all while keeping people at the center.
