    WHISPERING PINES, NC, November 01, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ryan Louis Garay has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Drawing on nearly a decade of contributions to his country through military service before transitioning to sales and business development roles in the defense sector, Mr. Garay has distinguished himself as the senior director of business development at Maxar Technologies. Specializing in safe and accurate geospatial intelligence, Maxar Technologies uses high-resolution satellite images and machine learning to aid government and commercial clients in predicting and mapping changes across the planet.

In his role at Maxar Technologies, Mr. Garay's expertise lies in driving strategic enterprises to empower the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) by finding innovative geospatial and intelligence solutions to various queries. These skills were enhanced over the course of five years during which he served the Joint Special Operations Command as a senior systems engineer, then as senior sales engineer at both L3Harris Technologies Inc. and Persistent Systems LLC. In 2023, he ascended further to become an associate partner and senior business development leader with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), directing growth strategies for IBM Consulting's dealings with the federal government, identifying key opportunities and contracts to repeatedly surpass the company's revenue targets and leading business expansion works across multiple defense teams to meet diverse customer needs and facilitate new client acquisitions.

Mr. Garay's deep understanding of defense operations and government sectors stems from his renowned military service. From 2010 to 2019, he completed service in the United States Army Special Forces and an instructor where he managed communications across multiple combat zones, ensuring troops could rely on optimal operations while engaging in high-stress situations. He also trained his team members to operate, troubleshoot and perform maintenance on technological equipment and guided swift deployment teams in creating communication structures to use during critical missions. These experiences fostered the leadership, collaboration and development skills he continues to employ throughout his career.

Though his professional journey has been filled with many memorable moments, Mr. Garay is especially proud of completing the difficult and demanding Special Forces Qualification Course, which tested the limits of his adversity, physical ability and mental strength over the course of two years. Deeply humbled and grateful upon reaching his graduation, the experience solidified his devotion to serving in the special forces. He was formally recognized for his exemplary service in 2016 when the United States Army awarded him a Bronze Star Medal and an Army Commendation Medal.

Having harbored the aspiration to join the military since he was a young boy, Mr. Garay's service and subsequent business development endeavors within the defense sector were a fitting outcome. However, after graduating from high school and working a variety of other jobs, he enlisted in the United States Army without telling his parents, who were concerned for their son's safety and did not share his enthusiasm for the venture. Ultimately, they came to appreciate his passion and understand his decision, taking great pride in his service and providing their unwavering love and support.

Mr. Garay's achievements have been largely driven by his steadfast motivation, perseverance and his uniquely developed ability to maintain calmness when making difficult and timely decisions. Though he keeps his long-term goals in sight as well, he takes each step as it comes and focuses on what he can pursue and accomplish with each individual day. Keeping this mindset has allowed him to overcome many obstacles in his personal and professional undertakings alike.
Looking to the future, Mr. Garay's primary goal is to preserve and strengthen his client and customer relationships, endowing them with leading-edge technology to help maximize their success in their own endeavors. His concentration also remains on delivering top-notch operations and communications technology to bolster the overall safety and welfare of current and future military members, ultimately enabling their safe return home.
