F.W. Webb Company has appointed Ryan Heusinkveld as its new vice president of information technology. In this capacity, he will lead the development and management of the technology infrastructure supporting the company’s growth across the Northeast. 

“Ryan is a skilled, experienced, and visionary leader who is perfectly suited to guide our information technology department both today and into the future,” said Bob Mucciarone, chief operating officer at F.W. Webb. “We are confident his hands-on, collaborative approach will keep us at the forefront of the industry while allowing us to meet our customers’ evolving needs in today’s rapidly changing technology landscape.”

Prior to joining F.W. Webb, Heusinkveld served as president and CEO at Smith Commerce, a digital commerce and marketing agency providing comprehensive solutions to B2B and B2C clients. He previously held leadership roles as Chief Technology Officer at Smith and Vice President of Technology at SapientRazorfish, following a decade as a technical architect and developer at Thomson Reuters.

“I’m eager to build on the industry-leading tradition F.W. Webb has established through more than 150 years of serving customers in the Northeast,” Heusinkveld said. “My vision for the IT department is twofold: building technological capabilities that drive and accelerate our business growth while developing a high-performing, self-sufficient IT team. In doing so, we’ll create the framework necessary for providing valuable solutions to our customers.”
