My name is Ryan Fitzgibbons. I’m the Founder & Principal Consultant of Loomin Solutions, a leadership consulting company for nonprofit organizations.

Welcome to my professional website. I'm happy to share with you the highlights of my professional path, where passion, leadership, and impact converge. As someone who has navigated the complexities of executive roles across the nonprofit sector, and as a former professional athlete who transitioned into a life of service and leadership, my journey is one of resilience, innovation, and dedication to making a difference.

I invite you to explore my Executive Portfolio by selecting it from the menu. It’s a curated collection of my achievements, projects, and milestones that not only reflect my career history but also my vision for the future. Whether you're a fellow leader seeking collaboration, a nonprofit looking for guidance, or simply interested in the stories behind the successes, my portfolio offers insights into the strategies and values that have guided me every step of the way.

Dive into my world of leadership, where challenges are met with courage and opportunities are seized. Reach out and let’s explore what we can achieve together.

I’m based out of Connecticut, USA and hold dual citizenship with Ireland in the European Union.

Returning to the United States to complete my education following a soccer career, I spent several years in the hospitality industry before joining the nonprofit industry as the Chief Operating Officer of the Hanover Area YMCA. I was promoted to President/COO by the board of directors after my first year with the organization. My experience living abroad and working in these industries offers me a unique blend of cultural diversity, teamwork, service-oriented leadership, and strategic management skills.

Leadership Experience

I’ve held various leadership positions in the nonprofit sector including President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, and Executive Director. During my time in hospitality I held multiple operational and leadership positions as General Manager, Director of Operations, and Director of Rooms.

Fiscal Responsibility

I’ve managed multiple nonprofits with a wide range of operating budget sizes. I gained valuable experience in utilizing various resources to achieve objectives whether overseeing a $1M or $64M operating budget.

Strategic Planning

In every leadership position I’ve held within the nonprofit sector, I’ve either inherited & executed or developed & executed a strategic plan. In order for changes to be successful, we must prepare, equip and support individuals moving through changes so that they successfully adopt the changes. Without adoption, changes will not be successful and we will not deliver the desired outcomes.

Today, I consult for a variety of nonprofit organizations and continue to volunteer and fundraise for the charities that I’ve been involved with since I was a soccer player.

Growing up between the United States and Ireland during the “troubles”, and living in Guadalajara, MX in my early 20s, I gained a rich understanding of cultural and socioeconomic differences with people in different regions. One thing I found to be true regardless of location or culture: is everyone experiences suffering & everyone wants to be happy.
