Johnson brings over 30 years of experience across corporate functions – including operations, strategy, alliances, finance and mergers & acquisitions – with a successful track record at hyper-growth companies. Of note, Johnson’s experience at Twilio driving strategy and corporate development prior to their IPO strengthens Quick Base’s board and builds upon the company’s recent growth.
“AJ’s experience in platform growth and developer communities makes him an outstanding strategic partner to help drive our business forward in new and different ways,” said Ed Jennings, CEO at Quick Base. “His knowledge of creating partnership eco-systems and strategically expanding the addressable market at his prior companies is very much aligned with Quick Base’s priorities.”
