Former RealPage, Inc. and award-winning Intuit product and marketing executive, brings 17 years of leadership experience and expertise launching and developing innovative global products.
DALLAS, Oct. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Entertainment and sports industry innovator Fanwish scored big today, announcing the newest addition to their A-team -- Chief Product & Marketing Officer Ryan Farley.

Fanwish investor and Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo stated at the launch event, "It's about the ability to connect with people. I was that kid once too... looking up to the Green Bay Packers… the Wisconsin Badgers, and it warms my heart knowing that we now have the ability to connect with multiple people on many different levels. The more times Fanwish can do that, the better."
