About

Bobby Johansen

VP of Software

Software leader focused on building platform infrastructure teams that span developer experience, infrastructure, and security. I love working on products that impact people's lives in a positive way.

Goals and Philosophy

I want to create genuine impact that affects the world. Not in a small way - the kind where you can look back and see how lives changed because of what was built. That's the thread that connects everything below.

Life

Impact the world through my work. Accomplish my fitness goals. Help others achieve theirs.

Career

Leverage my skills and experience to help startups accelerate towards success.

The overlap is this: doing work that matters, staying healthy enough to keep doing it, and bringing people along the way.

Leadership style

People over process

Strong teams beat strong processes every time. I invest in the people around me before reaching for a framework.

Direct and kind

Honest feedback delivered with care moves teams faster than vague praise or blunt criticism.

Lead by doing

I stay close to the work. The best way to earn trust is to ship alongside the people you lead.

Raise the ceiling

My job is to remove blockers and create space for people to do the best work of their careers.
