This exclusive award recognizes top organizations across the world that achieve world-class customer service excellence.

Ryan ranked 1st in the Medium Business category of organizations with between 501 and 3,999 employees.

Ryan demonstrated the highest level of competence in key judging criteria that included the breadth, depth, and proven results of the Firm’s customer service approach, client involvement in the Firm’s strategic direction, and continuous measurement and improvement of client service delivery.

Additionally, as a result of Ryan’s executive leadership commitment to maintaining a culture of client service excellence, the CSIA named Ryan CEO and Managing Principal G. Brint Ryan the 2010 Customer Service CEO of the Year.

“When I met Brint Ryan during the on-site evaluation process, I was very impressed with his unwavering commitment to service excellence,” said Christine Churchill, Executive Director of the CSIA. “At that time, I nominated Brint for the Customer Service CEO of the Year, and I am delighted that he was ultimately selected to receive this honor. I congratulate Brint and the entire Ryan organization on their proven ability to deliver superior client service.”

“Although there are many factors that have contributed to our success, by far the most critical is our single-minded focus on and dedication to achieving the highest quality results for our clients,” said G.
