Brayton Johnson's Linkedin Analytics

As a CEO, CRO, COO and CFO, and multi-time founder, I have successfully led early-stage, high-growth Web and tech firms consistently delivering hyper-growth profitable revenue. I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced and often ambiguous environments and offer additional expertise in strategic planning, general, operational, and financial management. As a founder/CXO, my banking and finance background served as the foundation to all my work. @25, as Sr. Credit Policy Officer/VP at JPMorgan Chase, I designed, wrote and implemented numerous credit products for the Bank, ultimately bearing the credit risk for and overseeing a $50B+ loan portfolio. Over my career, I have led the growth of seven companies, including four self-funded start-ups and one venture-backed firm. Notably, two of these companies exceeded $140 million in annual revenue. My individual efforts have delivered over $2 billion in uninterrupted, profitable revenue to these ventures and two exits. My comfort zone is complex problems, dynamic changes and continuous improvement in an organization. I am energized by competition and the need for continuous cost reduction and performance efficiency. My first full startup was a first-mover pioneer in the digital advertising sector, founding and building a digital advertising agency that created many of the methods and practices now broadly employed in digital marketing (SEO, SEM, etc.), targeted media planning and buying, programmatic advertising, data, tracking and reporting. We reached nearly $150M within 3 years; highly profitable, no investors or debt; started the company with $100. I launched my career in corporate and investment banking, reaching VP at JPMorgan Chase @25. And, to kick off my startup career, I was on the founding team of two intrapreneurial startups in US and international telecommunications where I was the sole IC to a $50M run rate in year one. I am passionate about complementing founding teams with my experience, ensuring success through effective planning, execution, operations and B/D strategies. I am driven by the connections and communications between individuals - employees and partners. People_Are_Everything! brayton@gmail.com or (650) 397-1627.
