Edison-based Orion Innovation on Thursday said it appointed Brian Bronson as chief executive officer, effective immediately. With over 25 years of leadership experience across global technology sectors, Bronson will lead Orion’s next phase of growth and transformation, focusing on expanding the company’s digital capabilities and market presence. Brian succeeds Raj Patil, who will transition to an advisory role with the company and One Equity Partners.
“Brian’s impressive track record of driving profitable growth and leading large-scale organizational transformation makes him the ideal leader for Orion’s next chapter,” Carlo Padovano, partner at One Equity Partners and lead director of Orion Innovation, said. “His deep expertise in product engineering, GenAI adoption, and digital transformation perfectly aligns with our vision for Orion’s future.
On behalf of the Orion Board, I’d like to thank Raj for his leadership and dedication in helping develop Orion into a market leader. Raj will transition to an advisory role with the company and One Equity Partners.”
“I’m honored to take on this role and excited about the tremendous opportunities ahead for Orion,” said Bronson. “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. 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.”
Before joining Orion, Bronson served as EVP of US Telecom, Media, and Entertainment at Capgemini. Additionally, he led the integration and execution of Capgemini’s global engineering services business across the Americas and Asia. This included driving growth in many industries leveraging innovative capabilities tied to 5G, connectivity, and software product engineering.
Previously, as president & CEO of Radisys, a leading provider of open telecom solutions, he led the company’s strategic transformation from a hardware company to a provider of cutting-edge software and enabling technologies for the telecom, technology, and medical industries. This transformation culminated in the sale of Radisys to Reliance Industries in 2018, marking a successful exit for the company.
