He takes great care to apply previously learned strategies and tactics and use his large network of highly qualified people in sales, marketing, product, sales engineering, and sales operations to quickly build successful teams.
“I’m thrilled to join Pyramid Analytics,” said Johnson. “My goal is to help spread the word about Pyramid to enterprise prospects that I truly believe will benefit from our offering. I am firmly committed to increasing Pyramid’s roster of North America-based customers and enhancing our standing in the market.
“Although we’re in uncertain times, I believe analytics is more important than ever, and Pyramid is uniquely positioned to help organizations chart a successful course.”
