Background

About Ben Ryon

I’m an accomplished project and program manager in communications, marketing, and content strategy with experience driving growth and success in the technology industry. Since 2010, I’ve had the opportunity to work on extensive communications, marketing and website program management with Microsoft through consulting firms Prowess, Artech and others. I’ve driven digital and social media campaigns for Microsoft User Research, developed marketing campaigns for the Windows lock screen, managed blog content, reporting, and website migrations for the Microsoft Research, and directed global operations for marketing and media content for Microsoft.com. More recently, I’ve held the role of Global Communications Project Manager, where I’ve overseen content and website program management for Microsoft global, AI, and innovation storytelling. I’ve led the development of significant projects including an automated multi-stream data analytics suite, Project Pandora, to a top performing communications platform, the Book of News, which serves as a single source of all major news announcements for the annual Microsoft Build and Microsoft Ignite events. I’m proud of the results-driven analytical strengths I demonstrate on a consistent basis to drive growth and innovation. I pair a close attention to metrics with a creative approach to project and program management, allowing me to lead a range of communications initiatives from global SEO implementations to high-value marketing campaigns to producing high-visibility content for global audiences.
