Staff report

WARREN — Former U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan has taken another job, his fourth since exiting Congress after his unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate last year.

Ryan, a Democrat from Howland, has joined Zoetic, a minority-owned company that provides energy, water and food technologies to areas of need around the world, as its chief global business development officer.

Zoetic has offices in Washington, D.C., Qatar, Singapore and Nigeria, according to its website.

The company’s list of technologies includes refrigerants’ projects in the U.S., Asia, Middle East and Africa. Other initiatives include providing access to hydrokinetic, wind and solar power, energy efficiency technologies and systems for supplementing electrical supply and infrastructure in remote areas.

Ryan said the company’s “family of breakthrough technologies will transform the world economy and help reverse climate change.”

The job is full time.

Ryan also is a co-chair of the Bitcoin Policy Institute’s new BPI Action, a group that will lobby Congress in support of Bitcoin, perhaps the most well-known form of cryptocurrency. He was appointed to the post in April.

Ryan was hired in January to serve on the two-member leadership council of Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future, an organization funded by several major natural gas companies that works to promote natural gas as clean energy.

A month later, Ryan was named a senior visiting fellow for Third Way, a center-left Democratic think tank. He is working to emphasize the role of American workers in the transition to clean energy, and the benefit it has for them and U.S. competitiveness.

Those jobs are part time.
