Ryan Droege is a digital buildings leader with deep experience bridging operational technology (OT), BAS (Building Automation Systems), and enterprise facility operations. He helps portfolios move from siloed, site-by-site, building operations to scalable, data-driven operation; connecting building systems, normalizing data, and applying analytics to identify waste, improving comfort, and enhance reliability.

Ryan’s work centers on practical digital transformation: modernizing the utilization of supervisory platforms, enabling secure connectivity, expanding metering/sensing where it matters most, and operationalizing insights through repeatable workflows. He’s known for translating technical complexity into clear business value; aligning facilities, engineering, IT/security, and sustainability teams around outcomes like energy reduction, predictive maintenance, and improved vendor performance. His approach combines strategy, program design, and hands-on execution to deliver ROI across diverse building types and starting conditions.
