Ryan Riccordella (‘15) | Associate Director, Public Relations | Winston-Salem, NC

Hi there – I’m Ryan Riccordella! I graduated in 2015 with a major in Psychology and a minor in Health and Human Services, but, despite having an education that prepared me to be a therapist, I went the corporate route instead.

I spent six years at a Winston-Salem-based tech company where I held various roles in Product Marketing, Strategy, and Sales in industries ranging from consumer goods to fintech to pharma. Following my time in the B2B space, I pivoted into B2C marketing to pursue my passion for motorsports and managed NASCAR sponsorship programs for a major financial institution. 

Following my tenure in racing, I joined a local advertising agency where I currently manage strategic client initiatives. 

I’m more than happy to talk to anyone who is interested in the types of roles or industries I’ve worked in, as well as folks interested in translating their Liberal Arts degree into a career in business. I’m also a proud member of the LBGTQ+ community and Winston-Salem resident, and welcome the opportunity to talk through navigating your early career as a member of either community 🙂
