Julie Johnston
Executive Business Partner
As a parent, Julie became interested in understanding and preventing the harms caused by social media and technology addiction. At CHT she is able to utilize her experience and skill set to advance the purposeful work of the organization. She acts as a force multiplier and thought partner to Aza Raskin while keeping him on time and on target.
Julie began her career in the dot com heyday of Silicon Valley with IBM Global Services leading software development projects before becoming a freelance consultant. Julie holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Brown University and her personal interests include yoga, gardening, skiing, and solving all sorts of puzzles.
Fun fact: after Julie’s initial foray into technology, she made a career pivot and pursued her passion for flowers; she worked as a professional floral designer in the Bay Area for over a decade.
