About Jonathan Butler

I direct digital operations, strategies and teams to achieve organizational goals and success. I\'m as focused on delivering solutions that can drive value and results (the \"what\") as I am committed to collaborative practices that build trust and elevate people (the \"how\").In 2020 I joined NPR as Director, Station Digital Solutions. From 2007 to 2020 I lead Vermont Public Radio\'s digital team through rapid change and growth. I direcedt the digital operations, platforms, budget and strategy. While providing digital strategy and leadership, I remain engaged in the front-line work, producing web content, testing code, recruiting & training staff, resolving technical issues and helping create award-winning online journalism. My previous experience spans industries, competencies and geography. I started my career at a global consulting firm, learning technology, process re-engineering and change management on large projects across industries. I then pivoted my career from the large and corporate clients toward start-ups, small businesses and non-profits: I loved the work, but I preferred the non-profit culture and mission-driven work.The thread throughout my career so far has been working with organizations I respect, creating digital products that solve user problems and helping the organizations change to be more successful. My skills span hands-on technology production, management and communications, team leadership and strategic planning. With this range and depth of experience I\'m able to help craft the big picture strategy, remain grounded in the users\' experience and the team\'s work and align the entire team toward the shared vision.
