Ryan McNamara, Vice President

Waymo Operations

Seeing the Road Ahead

We are excited to welcome Ryan McNamara, Vice President for Waymo Operations on September 8, 2022 for our first program of the 2022-23 season. Waymo’s journey started over a decade ago with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they’re going by building the world’s most experienced driver.

Ryan will provide us with a history and overview of Waymo’s enterprising technology. This includes an update for us on Waymo One – the world’s first fully autonomous commercial ride hailing service, which is transforming ride hailing in the East Valley and Phoenix. He will also enlighten us on Waymo Via -- their autonomous trucking and local delivery solution.

Following a 10-year career as a Navy pilot and a decorated combat veteran, Ryan has been a leader in tech for 13 years, holding a variety of operating roles at Apple, Nest, Google, and Waymo.

We look forward to inspiring you as we launch another year of connections with AzBL programs!

We extend our gratitude to AzBL's Chairman Partner BDO.

We look forward to seeing you there!
