Rod Johnson

My mission is to understand the complex challenges of our clients and find the best solutions to help them become more agile, resilient, and innovative.

This statement may seem straightforward enough, but it’s built on specific expertise built over the past 20+ years working with transformative technology.

UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX CHALLENGES

While I am currently a top-producing sales, marketing, strategy, and business development executive, leading a team of over 4,000 sales and account professionals, I can trace my technology roots back to my time as a researcher and analyst. In that role, I had the opportunity to explore the varied and complex business challenges of my clients – their nuances and similarities across industries. I also got to dig deeply into the available and emerging technologies that these clients were considering, quickly and objectively separating the wheat from the chaff to uncover the solutions that brought them the greatest business value.

EMBRACING INNOVATION

This background of delving into the weeds with a variety of enterprise technologies has allowed me to recognize true innovation, not just from a functional perspective, but also from its ability to transform. I’ve been able to work with and for industry-leading technology companies and am thrilled to be able to bring the most comprehensive, integrated, and innovative suite of cloud-based applications to help our clients navigate their rapidly changing business environments.

LEADING CHANGE

It would be impossible for any one individual to serve the needs of the 30,000+ organizations relying on Oracle Cloud Applications. I’m fortunate to lead an incredibly talented team that is obsessed with their customers’ success. In this role, my primary function is to remove the barriers and provide the resources my team needs to help them deliver the greatest value to our clients.
