Ron Merryman
Executive Coach & Vistage Master Chair, Portland

Ron has been the chair of my Vistage Group and a trusted business and personal adviser since 2013. He has the unique ability to help leaders understand both their businesses and themselves on a deeper level. Ron has helped me become a better leader and a better version of myself and I am grateful to have him in my life.

As a new Vistage member I have quickly come to recognize both the incredible breadth of Ron's experience and depth of his wisdom. He is a great listener, an excellent facilitator and quiet, insightful group leader. He inevitably offers invaluable perspectives and revelatory questions that none around the table had considered and that open up new avenues of thought about our member issues.

Ron is the Chair of the Vistage Trusted Advisor group that I'm in. I have known Ron for a few years and truly enjoy every moment I am fortunate enough to spend with him. In fact, I joined Vistage because of the opportunity to be in a group with Ron. He is one of the highest-integrity, most compassionate professionals I’ve ever known, qualities that manifest in very honest, direct communication that isn’t always easy to hear. Ron cares enough about the people in his life to call them on their BS so they can grow personally and professionally. If you're interested in personal and professional growth, I strongly suggest getting to know Ron.

Ron not only brings a wealth of business experience to the table, but the compassion of a true friend. He has a unique insight into the people he works with and an ability to make people see their flaws as opportunities to improve themselves in both their business and personal life. I’ve learned a great deal from my experience in working with Ron and would recommend his services to any business professional seeking to better their life.

Ron is an incredible listener and directs you down a path based on what he hears. His advice is always sound and he is an excellent professional coach. I recommend Ron to anyone interested in Vistage.

Ron has been a trusted advisor, mentor and friend during my time in Portland, Oregon. As a Vistage Chair, Ron was very familiar with the challenges of being a CEO and pushed the group and myself to take personal accountability for the results of our personal and business lives. His ability to listen without judgement and help guide me to make better decisions is a great strength. He has my highest recommendation as an executive coach and business consultant.

Ron is a highly personable and capable executive coach and mentor. In concert with Vistage International, he created an excellent CEO peer group which he masterfully facilitated. His broad background in a variety of corporate settings enables him to provide relevant and valuable interactions with everyone he works with. He is a man of strong integrity and be credited with pointing others in the direction of doing the right thing!

As a cofounder of REDpoint International having Ron Merryman join our team has enabled us to expand our management team's knowledge due to his corporate leadership background. Ron's team leadership and mentoring strategies have made him both a joy to work with and helped us move forward as an emerging medical device company. He is very motavated toward helping others succeed.
