The foundation of this company is the focus on working together better. This begins with the executive team. ThreeWill was founded in 2001 by two brothers, Danny and Tommy Ryan. They wanted to create a company that focused on bringing together a group of people who shared similar values, loved working on small teams to do incredible things for clients under tough constraints, and help clients succeed and drive value.
Tommy Ryan, Co-Founder and President
Tommy serves as the President for ThreeWill. Besides running the day to day operations, he is responsible for two of the most important areas of our business - hiring the best people and helping them grow while at ThreeWill and making sure that we deliver on projects. He has over seventeen years of technical project experience and over eight years of software consulting experience. Tommy worked for a number of years at W.L. Gore and Associates (Gore), where he was a Process Engineer. Many of Tommy’s strong beliefs in running a company (flat structure; more focus on responsibility and commitments rather than titles; and providing sponsors rather than managers) come from his years at Gore where he was involved with manufacturing Gore-tex(R) fabric. Tommy has a strong technical background in Microsoft Development, and he co-authored books on a number of Microsoft .NET technology subjects. Tommy holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from Clemson University. Tommy enjoys spending time with his wife Linda (who also works at ThreeWill) and their three children.
Danny Ryan, Co-Founder and Vice President of Business Development
Danny serves as Vice President of Business Development at ThreeWill. His primary responsibilities are to make sure that we are building partnerships with the right clients and getting out the message about how we can help clients. Danny often speaks for Microsoft on technologies such as Groove, InfoPath, and SharePoint. He has produced technical content for Microsoft on ASP.NET, IIS, SharePoint, Microsoft Office, C#, SQL Server, and Live Communications Server. He co-authored an ASP.NET Book with Tommy. He has recently created a 7 hour video on building solutions using SharePoint 2007 technologies. Danny worked for a number of years at PriceWaterhouseCoopers, where he was part of growing their Microsoft Ecommerce Practice and this is where he formed his foundational skills in project management and process. He believes in heavy testing, lightweight software development processes, and stacking teams with the best people you can to ensure success. Danny holds a BS degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech - he’s always looking for a better way to do things. Danny enjoys running and spending time with his wife Amy and their two daughters.
