Launching a career at Triumvirate Environmental

That keyword helped him find Boston-based Triumvirate Environmental, where he is now a business development analyst. The firm consults with other businesses on their environmental impact and assists them in executing plans to improve their systems.

“We go in and say, ‘Is this as efficient as it can be? Where are you losing money? Is this being done sustainably? How can we improve it?’ Or we look at health and safety. ‘Are workers getting hurt? What plans can reduce that? What kinds of trainings might help?’ Then we help them execute,” Ryan explains.

From Conn to career

In his role, Ryan develops client relationships, supports business growth strategies, and contributes to the company’s mission of sustainability and environmental responsibility.

He sees his job as a direct continuation of the skills and passions he developed at Conn. Ryan majored in economics and minored in finance, a combination that gave him both analytical skills and real-world perspective, and he was a member of the Men’s Squash team. He credits Conn with teaching him to balance multiple priorities—whether in the classroom, athletics or internships—and adapt quickly to new challenges.

“Conn taught me how to shift gears effectively and manage different responsibilities,” Ryan says. “Those skills have been essential in my career.”
