Ryan Beard

Ryan Beard is a technically oriented PP&C SME with broad experience in cost, schedule, and EVM implementation and execution roles. He has supported most major DoD contractors but also excels at leading small to medium-sized businesses through the complex process and reporting challenges that come with larger program awards.

Ryan is a Manager at ClearPlan, primarily focused on Huntsville, AL, and is also responsible for ClearPlan’s Tool & Technology roadmap, including both internal business systems and custom client solutions.

Ryan completed the pre-Med program at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and received a Bachelor's degree in Biology / Chemistry. After spending two years as a pharmaceutical chemist and quickly tiring of the exhaustive regulatory environment, he left the field in 2007 to pursue his passion for Federal acquisitions.
