Founder & Managing Director, Vox Museorum
William Ronan is an American entrepreneur, producer and creative strategist whose career bridges global advertising, operational leadership, and cultural innovation.
As Founder & Managing Director of Vox Museorum, he leads a new communications agency dedicated to amplifying the cultural relevance of museums worldwide through creative storytelling, digital strategy and experiential technology.
Ronan’s path combines decades of experience across complex industries—public infrastructure, aviation, advertising, and content production—into a single through‑line: helping organizations communicate value on a large scale.
He began his career with the New York City Transit Authority, where he rose to Principal Buyer, the highest purchasing title in New York State. In that role, he negotiated and executed multimillion‑dollar contracts with companies including General Motors, Westinghouse, Bethlehem Steel, and Grumman, while founding the NYCTA Expediting Division.
Recruited by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, he managed over $100 million in annual spare‑parts business with major airline clients such as United, Delta, and Air Canada, honing his expertise in logistics, client relations, and high‑value business negotiation.
In the 1990s, Ronan completely switched his career trajectory. Owing to his love of music, Ronan founded CineVox, a music and sound design studio complex in Seattle that produced original campaign work for Nordstrom, Holland America, NASDAQ, Microsoft, Y&R, DDB, and Miramax. The company’s success established him as a respected figure in the American creative and advertising music industry—where art met commerce at scale.
Over the next two decades, Ronan held executive and creative partnership roles with agencies and production companies including Publicis Seattle, J. Walter Thompson, Mekanism, Publicis Seattle, J. Walter Thompson, Mekanism, Lustre Communications, and Digital Kitchen—producing award‑winning campaigns and immersive brand experiences for global clients.
From major airline supply chains to international brand storytelling, his work has always blended discipline with imagination. That balance now defines Vox Museorum, where he channels a career’s worth of production expertise into the cultural sector—helping museums, cultural foundations, and creative technology companies shape the future of museum public engagement.
