COLUMBUS, Ohio: Battelle announced today that Tim Ryan, Citi’s Head of Technology and Business Enablement, has been elected to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Since joining Citi in June 2024, Ryan has led both the firm’s Technology and Legacy Franchise teams, driving cross-firm process simplification and modernization. He also serves as a member of Citi’s Executive Management Team.

Ryan’s previous leadership experience includes serving for two consecutive four-year terms from 2016 to 2024 as the Senior Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), overseeing the firm’s strategy and execution as well as the activities of PwC’s 75,000 people. During his nearly 40-year career at PwC, Ryan was instrumental in driving operational and cultural excellence for the firm. Under his leadership, PwC underwent a meaningful digital and workforce transformation, resulting in a significantly stronger balance sheet and remarkable business growth.

“Tim’s deep expertise in business transformation and technology leadership will be invaluable as Battelle continues its mission of advancing scientific discovery and innovation in a rapidly evolving world,” said Battelle President and CEO Lou Von Thaer. “Tim brings decades of experience serving national and international clients that will provide valuable insights to our Board.
