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.
