Ron Bronson

I design information systems.

That has meant content strategy, information architecture, digital services, governance, and delivery leadership.

Today, as organizations rush to adopt AI, I'm focused on a question I've been working on for most of my career: how do we structure information so people can understand it, organizations can operate it, and machines can use it responsibly?

Lately, I've been writing (and teaching) about public mechanics; back in March I organized Years Ahead. Currently: Head of Product Strategy for an EU-based civil AI concern, and part-time faculty in the Urban Technology program at the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

In my spare time, I coach high school tennis, host a radio show, and news anchor on community radio sometimes. My buddy Joel and I have an intermittent podcast about books, Future Perfect Book Club.

The first game I designed was a sport. I invented Tennis Polo in 2004 and it's since been played in eighteen-plus countries. These days, I build games of every kind, analog and digital. More of those experiments live at ronbronson.dev.

Previously: Head of Design at 18F, and founder of the Portland Digital Corps.
