“It has been a privilege to serve as a mentor to Ryan Singer and to witness his remarkable growth as a product leader and innovator. From the start, Ryan demonstrated a rare combination of curiosity, discipline, and creative problem-solving that set him apart in the field of software development. Throughout our mentorship, Ryan consistently impressed me with his ability to synthesize complex ideas and translate them into actionable strategies. His work as a key team member at Basecamp, where he helped shape the company’s product vision and development processes, is a testament to his deep expertise and leadership. Ryan’s authorship of “Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that Matters” has had a transformative impact on how teams approach project management and product design, and I have seen firsthand how he applies these principles to drive real results. What truly distinguishes Ryan is his willingness to challenge assumptions and his dedication to continuous learning. He approaches each new challenge with humility and rigor, always seeking to understand the underlying dynamics before proposing solutions. His collaborative spirit and clear communication have made him a valued partner to colleagues at every level, and his influence extends well beyond his immediate teams. Ryan’s career trajectory-from UI Designer to Product Manager to Head of Strategy at Basecamp-reflects his versatility and his commitment to mastering every facet of product development. He is not only a strategic thinker but also a hands-on practitioner who leads by example. I am confident that Ryan will continue to make significant contributions wherever he goes. Any organization would be fortunate to have him as a leader, collaborator, and innovator.”
