ABOUT JESSICA JOHNSTON
I help organizations turn ambitious strategies into results — and build the teams that make it possible.Over the past several years, I’ve led and scaled a $50M+ portfolio focused on healthcare and benefits access, financial resilience, and community-based supports. I inherited a small, overstretched team managing an increasingly complex body of work and led a transformation — tripling the size of my team, strengthening operations, and creating clarity around priorities, accountability, and outcomes.I’ve set strategy, designed and launched new initiatives, managed large federal and philanthropic investments, and guided teams delivering work across dozens of states. Along the way, I’ve partnered closely with federal agencies, community-based organizations, and private-sector partners to improve access, streamline systems, and increase impact for people who need it most.At my core, I’m a builder: of teams, programs, and systems that actually work.
