Ryen Skillin-Spicher
Service Manager
Ryen joined the IEC staff in 2011, and has over 10 years experience in the IT industry. Ryen is responsible for keeping support tickets moving and calendars organized. Ryen started her career with IEC in the purchasing and inside sales department where she concentrated on vendor management and delivery. Since shifting her position to service manager several years ago, Ryen has focused her attention on team growth and coordination as well as developing deeper relationships with clients. Favorite thing about IT: “IT helps people. In this industry we don’t see problems, we see opportunities to find solutions, which is a pretty cool way to spend your workday.”
IT Turn on: Solid power lights
IT Turn off: Phishing
When she isn’t working, Ryen loves to read, cook, and spend time outside with her son. She is grateful that her husband is kind enough (or hungry enough) to always eat whatever new dish she puts in front of him in her cooking adventures. If you can’t find her, chances are she is tucked away in a cozy corner reading.
