Who Am I?
My name is Ryan Sasaki and I am the NMR Product Manager for ACD/Labs.
I have been with ACD/Labs for almost seven years now and am deeply involved in the marketing and product development of our NMR product line. My current role involves a lot of travel around the world to different customer sites and conferences where I spend most of my time listening and discussing to issues related to the handling of analytical data with Spectroscopists, Chemists, Directors, VPs, etc.
I first started with ACD/Labs in 2003 as a Technical Marketing Specialist where I was responsible for driving the communication efforts of the NMR Product Line. From there I began to spend a lot of time with customers and users to understand their workflows and expectations for NMR software.
Prior to my employment at ACD/Labs, I worked for several years as a Process Chemist in a large pharmaceutical company. My current job has put me in a position to speak with many, many scientists and spectroscopists around the world which has given me great insight and understanding of what people from various industries are looking for as NMR solutions.
I graduated with a Masters of Science Degree in Chemistry from the University of Victoria, under the guidance of Dr. Peter Wan.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Prince Edward Island.
I currently reside on the east coast of Canada in Windsor, NS, where I operate out of a home office remote from my colleagues in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
