Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathon Broughton is an Advocacy Lead specialising in making design and construction data usable across the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction, operations) sector, with 12 years of experience based in London. He blends hands-on tool-building and data wrangling with developer advocacy, owning products like SpeckleNavisworks and SpeckleFME while growing community, academia and design partnerships. His background as an architect and Head of Ideas gives him rare cross-disciplinary fluency—translating urban-scale masterplanning needs into data strategies, automation and bespoke analytics platforms. He has led technology-led change at studios and consultancies, driving BIM/GIS transformation, APIs and near-real-time data pipelines for major London projects. Founder of a design-tech think tank, he continuously prototypes practical tooling to lower the bar for digital-first collaboration. Unusually for a tech advocate, he pairs architectural design training (MPhil/BArch) with certificates in scalable data analytics and algorithm design, enabling both domain empathy and technical depth.
