Ryan Ruud

I help navigate growth driven organizations through digital transformation. I've spent a bulk of my career aligning sales, marketing and support teams around goals and strategies that move their business forward - while equipping them with tools to drive efficiency for them and their customers. I founded Lake One in 2014 and have been blessed to work with founders and go-getters in a variety of industries including tech, manufacturing, business services, financial services, and e-commerce from startup to Enterprise. Before pursuing a career in marketing, I worked in broadcasting - journalism and entertainment as a top 40 DJ and radio news reporter where I earned recognition from the Society of Professional Journalists for reporting coverage of flooding in the Red River Valley.
