About Ryan
Ryan Messer is a highly accomplished Senior Executive with a proven track record of identifying opportunities and steering organizations towards remarkable success. As a strategic problem-solver, Ryan is adept at envisioning solutions and executing them with urgency throughout every facet of an organization. With over two decades of experience in mergers and acquisitions, Ryan has consistently guided companies to significant growth, including taking private firms public. He employs the same strategic business tactics that have cemented his longstanding success while leading Key Medical USA.
In 1997, Ryan earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, Marketing, and Finance from the University of Central Florida. He furthered his education by studying economics, risk management, and cash flow analysis at the Colorado School of Mines in 2011. Ryan began his professional journey in the IT services and consulting sector.
Discovering his passion for the energy industry, Ryan co-founded his first energy company in 2002 and served as its president. He and his partners successfully developed numerous high-value niche projects over several years, ultimately divesting assets to a private oil company in 2005.
That same year, Messer co-founded an energy exploration company, headquartered in Australia, and Houston, TX. The company was listed on the ASX and the OTCQX in the US. Ryan, along with his management team, devised and executed plans for operational infrastructure, systems, processes, and staff, all in support of high-quality exploration opportunities to boost cash flows, reserves, and production scalability. The company utilized a value-driven model to exploit resources in established oilfields by leveraging advanced completion and stimulation technology.
In 2016, Ryan temporarily stepped away from the public company sphere to concentrate on developing sustainable technology projects and partnering on niche projects where his expertise could contribute to and scale the growth plan. In 2022, Ryan was invited to join Key Medical USA as the company’s CEO.
