Ryan Davis is a highly successful young entrepreneur and a Co-Founder of BacklotCars which sold for $425 million in late 2020.
Before his remarkable entrepreneurial journey, he began his career on Wall Street as an investment analyst moving from boutique investment banks to the bulge bracket investment bank, Credit Suisse.
On Wall Street, he developed valuable quantitative analysis skills, the ability to synthesize complex concepts and communicate them in a concise and compelling manner, and an ultra-strong work ethic forged by routinely working 80+ hour weeks for years.
He credits his success to his basic (and effective) principles: controlling what you can control, working extremely hard, sticking with what you know, and combining data with ideas to solve meaningful challenges.
Ryan started BacklotCars with his brother to solve a major challenge in the automotive industry – making it easier for dealers to buy cars wholesale.
Over a five-year period, he grew BacklotCars from a 4-person team to an industry leader through effective go-to-market strategies, knowing the customer, doing more with less, and applying hard work and a heads-down approach to disrupting an old-school industry.
