Bio
Bill West, MBA, ICE-CCP
Johnna is a top assessment expert and a wonderful leader. She has given tremendous time and thought leadership to the testing industry, and always manages to create lots of fun along the way. I’m always grateful for the chance to work with and learn from Johnna.
Christopher Butcher
I had an opportunity to collaborate with Johnna in her role as Board Chair of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence. In that capacity, I had the pleasure to witness the kind of vision and compassion Johnna brings to her professional life. Her attention to the Person in her professional and leadership roles inspires the rest of us to remember what is important. It is so much easier to walk into a controversial and fraught topic knowing that your perspective will be acknowledged, evaluated, and improved free of personal agenda and bias. This approach to leadership puts her in a category of people I trust to get the hard and great things done.
