Drew Johnson is a Chief Technology Officer, Head of Engineering and Operations at Aeris Communications. They possess expertise in mobile devices, agile methodologies, telecommunications, software engineering, java and 4 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "When I started at Openwave, Drew was running a large portion of one of the legacy businesses. Over time, he expanded his influence, and within a year was running operations across engineering, leading-edge technology expansions in the legacy products, and he was driving next-generation mobile video technology and deployments. Drew is an excellent manager. His people like to work for him. His performance and scope led to his promotion to VP. I'd be very happy to be working with him again." and "Drew is one of the best managers, leaders and technologists that I have ever worked with. I've been re-reading some Sherlock Holmes stories recently. In many of the stories Holmes makes a series of subtle and brilliant observations of other people. But when he reveals the clear reasoning and logic of his deductions, most of the characters jump to the erroneous conclusion that his observations were trivial. The analogy to Drew is that he is so good at managing, facilitating, organizing and directing that it appears effortless and obvious. As a manager myself, I am continually impressed by the trade-craft and artfulness with which Drew accomplishes his work. It is far from obvious or easy - he just makes it look that way. Drew is a natural leader who is commanding, yet quiet and understated. He is largely unflappable and has a peerless work ethic. He is quite adept at wrangling complex processes and budgets, yet has never lost touch with the hands-on connection to the code. His engineers know this and respect him for it. I believe Drew will be a leader and major contributor in whatever organization he joins. In a larger corporate environment, I think he has the political skills and polish to maneuver effectively for his organization. In a start-up, he has the passion and technical vision to drive a small, fast moving team. You should hire him before he figures out that he should run his own company. ;)"
