I'm Paul Johnson — a builder of systems, a connector of people, and someone who thrives at the intersection of purpose and execution. My background spans program management, business development, and cross-functional leadership. Over the years, I’ve worked with startups, design consultancies, and mission-driven organizations, helping them grow, adapt, and deliver meaningful results.
I’ve worn a lot of hats — managing construction projects, leading sales teams, streamlining business operations, and driving product development in the hardware space. I’ve also had the privilege of working with non-profits and community organizations, where I found one of my greatest joys: teaching.
I’m passionate about sharing knowledge. I’ve developed and taught workshops on business fundamentals, intellectual property, and entrepreneurship. I’ve taught GED coursework in math and science, mentored aspiring professionals, and helped coordinate events that give people a platform to connect and learn from one another.
Whether I’m building strategy, guiding a team, or teaching in a classroom, I’m driven by curiosity, clarity, and community. And when I’m not working, you’ll probably find me exploring the outdoors or enjoying a really good cup of coffee — which, naturally, inspired johnson.coffee.
“I believe the best results happen when good people rally around a clear purpose — and coffee definitely helps.” ☕
