NJBiz: With a new CEO, Orion Innovation sets stage for next chapter

The following is an excerpt from an article published on NJBiz, featuring Orion Innovation’s CEO, Brian Bronson.

Bronson, who previously served as executive vice president of US telecom, media, and entertainment at Capgemini, brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across global technology sectors.

Orion said Bronson will lead its next phase of growth and transformation – with a focus on expanding the company’s digital capabilities and market presence.

Carlo Padovano, partner at One Equity Partners and lead director of Orion Innovation, touted Bronson’s track record and described him as “the ideal leader” for Orion’s next chapter.

“His deep expertise in product engineering, GenAI adoption, and digital transformation perfectly aligns with our vision for Orion’s future,” Padovano said in November.

“The company has built an impressive foundation with a blue-chip roster of clients, a global delivery platform, and a talented team with deep domain and engineering expertise,” said Bronson in the announcement of his appointment. “I look forward to working closely with our employees, clients and partners as we deliver transformative solutions to our clients, drive innovation, and scale our capabilities.”

Helping Customers With Digital Disruption

NJBIZ recently sat down with Bronson at Orion Innovation’s Edison headquarters to discuss his early days in the new role, his plans and priorities, and what the next chapter of the company looks like.

Bronson, 53, opened the discussion by running through his most recent experiences. He noted that his previous role allowed him to be disruptive across all technology boundaries. After a five-year stint there, he was looking for the right platform to run.

“And thus, it was Orion,” Bronson told NJBIZ. “I looked at a lot of digital engineering – a lot of different kinds of companies. But the uniqueness of Orion was its size. There’s either really tiny services companies or big behemoths. And we’re in that sort of adolescent – we’re big enough to be credible, but not so big that we’re not agile.”

He noted the team of more than 6,000 employees.

“And I love the split. So, when you’re global – you need to be global,” Bronson stressed. “We got 2,000 in India, 2,000 or so in Europe, and then a couple of thousand in North America. Wow. That’s sort of a unique footprint.”

The ability to deploy that footprint was critical to Bronson, as well as having IP to enable frameworks.

“It’s a unique opportunity – period,” said Bronson. “And it was a unique opportunity, given that I think we’re on just the beginnings of a multi-decade journey of helping customers with digital disruption; with embracing GenAI; with – how do I leverage all this stuff?”
