On joining Reejig, Johnson says: “The holy grail for any CHRO or CPO is to intelligently align the people strategy to the business strategy. That starts with understanding all of the skills that exist in the business so you can make informed decisions and maximize the potential of your talent. People leaders have struggled to do this at all, much less at the pace they need to in today’s climate where the sand is shifting underneath their feet on an almost daily basis. There’s never been a SaaS platform that enables this at any meaningful level of scale. When I saw how Reejig applied ethical AI to finally crack this code, I knew they’d be the leader in this new “Workforce Intelligence” category. I couldn’t be more excited to bring this to market.”
