“J.R. has delivered measurable results for several different companies in a variety of markets, he's built our TBR Associates consulting firm from square one to a national presence, and I'm looking forward to seeing his imprint on MODRoto,” Tingue said in the release, referring to Ryan's position as president of TBR Associates, which specializes in process improvement, Lean Six Sigma, management development, and other services. Ryan will continue serving in that role.
