Ryan Stout Spec Ops Ecom CEO, Entrepreneur, Speaker, Consultant and more
Who Am I?
Greetings! I'm Ryan Stout, hailing from the vibrant city of Austin, Texas. As an experienced Chief Executive Officer with a rich background in Sales & Marketing, I've pioneered business strategies in various industries over the years. Most recently shaping the future of eCommerce as the Senior Manager of Strategy for Automotive and Firearms at BigCommerce. My mission? Ensuring BigCommerce continues to be the world's best eCommerce platform for a multitude of industries.
What sets me apart is not just my strategic mind but my diverse professional journey. My military and firefighting background instilled in me a dedication and resilience that I've carried into the business world. This has been evident from my tenure as a firefighter in Austin and El Paso, my role as a Rescue Swimmer in the USCG, and my leadership roles at Shipwell and Stout Industries, Inc. - the latter owning the patent for Ladder Lights, a beacon of innovation in firefighter safety.
While I’m deeply embedded in the digital space, my entrepreneurial spirit thrives in the tangible world too. I founded Stout Performance, an automotive performance shop that catered to high-octane applications. Additionally, through Heavyfoot Productions, I've been instrumental in creating visually stunning automotive documentaries and custom action films.
Speaking of awards and achievements, my time in the United States Coast Guard was adorned with the Sharpshooter award and the Maritime Unit Commendation, showcasing my dedication to excellence in every endeavor.
When I'm not immersed in BigCommerce builds or strategizing the next big thing in eCommerce, I'm available for speaking engagements, spreading insights from my diverse career journey, and sharing knowledge from the worlds of eCommerce, automotive, and high-risk verticals.
Let's join hands and drive your eCommerce aspirations to the next level. From consulting to speaking engagements, I am your go-to expert.
