| Ryan Hagey | Director of Financial Planning & Asset Management | City of Kitchener | Ryan’s OMERS statement says he has been working in municipal finance for almost 25 years, while his four school-aged children will ensure he continues working for many more. After growing up in a small town north of Huntsville, Ryan moved to Waterloo to attend Wilfrid Laurier University and has stayed in southwestern Ontario cities ever since.
Through a progression of roles over his career Ryan has been exposed to many parts of municipal finance including budgeting, financial reporting, asset management, grants, and development charges.
Unlike the stereotypical accountant, Ryan enjoys public speaking and looks forward to presenting the budget to Council each year and responding to their questions. While he can be a bit too particular and want to do things all by himself, Ryan is very grateful for the meaningful contributions from his great team of municipal finance experts that help pull everything together each budget year.
