Heather Johnson

Co-Founder, CEO

I am an MBA graduate with a distinguished career as a business consultant and the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Gozynta. Since the company's inception in 2018, I have played a critical role in shaping its direction, focusing on developing robust sales, marketing, support, HR, and business development functions. My leadership philosophy centers on fostering an inclusive corporate culture, which has been instrumental in achieving remarkable diversity milestones, including a technical team that is 50% female and reflects significant racial diversity. My commitment to inclusivity is evident across all aspects of the organization, from recruitment practices to our marketing strategies, ensuring that Gozynta is recognized not only for its business achievements but also for its integrity and diverse workforce. Prior to joining Gozynta, I contributed to the leadership team of an internationally renowned interfaith university, where I also earned my MBA. This experience, coupled with my responsibilities in organizing events at the White House, has honed my skills in strategic planning and leadership. The Star Wars character I draw parallels to is Princess Leia, embodying her dedication to justice and unity in my approach to leadership and advocacy for diversity and inclusivity in the technology sector. My goal is to not only advance Gozynta's success but also to serve as a catalyst for positive change in the industry, championing a more inclusive and equitable work environment.

Brendan Bastine

President of Consulting

With a rich history spanning 16 years in leadership, I have had the privilege of leading teams ranging from teams of 4 to robust teams of 125 individuals. I have spent the past decade in the role of a Service Delivery Manager, cementing my reputation as a seasoned IT professional with a comprehensive skill set. I bring extensive leadership experience and a proven track record in IT service management built on the sturdy foundations of ITIL 4. As a seasoned and results-driven IT professional, my forte lies in extensive leadership, coupled with a stellar track record in IT service management. My expertise spans IT operations, service desk management, IT documentation, process creation and implementation, project management, technical support, IT sales, and a comprehensive understanding of MSP software and their configurations. Armed with a unique blend of business acumen, leadership acumen, and technical proficiency, I am poised to make impactful contributions to any MSP. If I was a Star Wars character, I’d be Obi Wan Kenobi. Why? Because, much like the wise Jedi, I’ve got a strong moral compass, and I tackle problems with thoughtfulness and precision. I bring the force of skills, and just like Obi, I lead my teams with kindness, understanding, patience, and respect.
