WAYNE, Pa. — The Emerson Group’s transition from a product-selling organization to a trusted, unbiased category leader owes much to the talents and passions of Natalie Ryan. As head of strategy at the firm, Ryan works to ensure that the power of decision-making based on consumer insights and data benefits both brand partners and internal business strategies.
Passionate about bringing real-time, actionable insights to key stakeholders, Ryan has been instrumental in advancing the capabilities that allow the Emerson Group to deliver 24/7 access to category thought leadership and advanced business intelligence.
“My mission is to foster a culture of curiosity, collaboration and continuous learning, where data is not just numbers, but a catalyst for strategic growth and industry leadership,” says Ryan.
According to a PwC survey of senior executives, highly data-driven organizations are three times more likely to report significant improvements in decision-making compared to those that rely less on data.
Ryan played a pivotal role in the development of Omega, the Emerson Group’s data platform. Working closely with a talented data technology team, she helped create a best-in-class solution that leverages automation and AI, streamlining analytics and empowering users to focus on growth strategies rather than data complexities.
Ryan says what she finds most fulfilling is building capabilities that set the organization apart, equipping brand partners with the tools they need to make informed, strategic decisions.
Beyond strategy and innovation, Ryan is passionate about empowering her team and partners to think big and stay ahead of industry trends.
Says Ryan, “I believe in always looking ahead, anticipating what’s next and building the capabilities that will keep us and our partners at the forefront of the industry.”
