Kristian Ruggieri's Linkedin Analytics

I am a passionate and experienced training professional with a track record of successfully bringing leadership development programs and technical training to life. With a diverse background as a program manager, human resources manager, and improviser, I offer a unique and creative approach to problem-solving and collaboration. As a training specialist, my primary focus is on designing and implementing impactful programs that drive tangible results. Leveraging my natural strengths in winning others over, adaptability, and effective communication, I have consistently fostered the growth and development of individuals, empowering them to reach their full potential and excel in their roles. Notably, at Autodesk, I led an innovative Manager Development program that utilized a blend of digital and cohort learning, to promote the practical application of management skills. My experience spans across diverse industries, including healthcare, biotech, localization, banking, and software. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am also an accomplished improviser and proudly participate in weekly performances with Secret Improv Society in San Francisco. Embracing the unpredictability of improv has honed my ability to think on my feet and find innovative solutions in any situation. I am enthusiastic about applying these improvisation techniques in team settings to foster creativity, enhance communication, and promote collaborative problem-solving. Community engagement is close to my heart, and I actively give back by volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. Additionally, I publish a weekly "Feel Good Friday" blog, where I share inspiring stories of positive impacts made by others. With a diverse background and a "yes, and" mindset, I am excited to embark on new challenges and make a meaningful impact.
