This month we are pleased to welcome Ryan Androsoff, Founder and CEO of Think Digital, a consultancy focused on helping public sector organizations to adapt and thrive in the era of digital disruption. Think Digital advocates for agile, human-centered approaches to solving problems that incorporate innovative uses of digital technology and data to advance the public good.
Ryan is an international expert on digital government with a passion for public sector entrepreneurship and more than two decades of experience working with government and international organizations in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Since 2018 Ryan has partnered with the Institute on Governance to lead their digital leadership programs and to provide advisory services for a variety of government organizations to assist with their digital transformation efforts.
Ryan was a Co-Founder of the Canadian Digital Service, a startup organization within the federal government launched in 2017 with the mission of helping government design, prototype, and build better digital services. Previously, he had been a Senior Advisor in the Government of Canada’s Treasury Board Secretariat since 2010, where he worked on initiatives to improve digital service delivery capacity across the federal government, led the development of the first government-wide social media policies, and managed the GCTools team responsible developing the Government of Canada’s internal on-line collaborative platforms (GCpedia and GCconnex) – a set of open source technology pilots that are now used by over 100,000 public servants across Canada. In 2015, Ryan spent a year with the OECD’s Digital Government Team in Paris, France.
