Ryan Mitchell Truliance Director of Business Development

Business Development Strategist and Logistics Solutions Architect

Ryan Mitchell Truliance Director of Business Development brings nearly 20 years of experience in business development, transportation, and logistics for industrial and manufacturing clients. He helps companies align sales and operations so growth plans translate into reliable delivery and profitable execution. His background spans multi-million dollar P&L ownership, network design, carrier strategy, and cross-functional leadership that turns logistics from a cost center into a competitive advantage.

Ryan’s work begins with clarity. He maps how orders move through the organization, where handoffs break down, and which constraints create delays, excess cost, or missed revenue. Then he builds a practical plan that connects commercial strategy to operational capacity. The result is fewer bottlenecks, better workflow, and a finance profile that improves as volume increases.

Clients rely on Ryan for measurable outcomes. He has led programs that reduce dwell time and detention, increase on-time delivery, and improve margin through smarter mode mix and carrier selection. He builds simple scorecards so teams can see what is working, what is not, and where to focus next. Because he aligns people, process, and tools, the improvements stick after the project ends.

At Truliance, Ryan’s logistics leadership dovetails with plant and commercial execution. His work often pairs with Plant Optimization and Expansion to make sure production plans and shipping capacity support customer promises. When a company needs quick impact, he partners with our Tactical Plant Improvement Projects team to relieve constraints that are blocking throughput or delaying outbound shipments. For leaders who want a durable operating model, he supports Strategic Planning and Organizational Development so sales, operations, and finance move in lockstep. He also collaborates on Leadership Coaching and Development to strengthen the managers who run day-to-day logistics execution.

How Ryan delivers value

  • Commercial and operations alignment that improves forecast accuracy and service levels

  • Network and route analysis that lowers total landed cost, not just line haul rates

  • Mode strategy and carrier portfolio design that balances speed, reliability, and margin

  • Inventory and production flow coordination so the right product is ready at the right dock

  • KPI design and operating rhythm so teams see issues early and act fast

Approach

Ryan starts with a brief discovery to understand current performance, customer commitments, and cost drivers. He reviews order-to-cash process maps, interviews leaders and front-line teams, and collects a focused set of data on shipments, accessorials, and service exceptions. From there, he builds a prioritized roadmap with clear owners, timelines, and expected impact. Execution support ranges from weekly operating reviews to on-site coaching for planners, dispatchers, and supervisors. The goal is simple: create momentum, prove results, and scale what works.
