Jice Johnson
U.S. Army veteran, award-winning business strategist, institution builder, and community economic developer.
I have led teams and organizations for more than two decades, beginning in the military, and have spent the last decade building businesses, programs, and institutions. My work centers on Black economic empowerment, entrepreneurial ecosystem building, and leadership development, and I convene cross-sector partners to build lasting infrastructure for intergenerational impact.
​
I believe leadership starts with self-mastery, clarity of vision, and the courage to take intentional action. I infuse the creed Lead by Design into all of my work. My leadership work develops leaders who can build a world that works for all of us. Two things guide me: integrity in how I lead and serve, and legacy in what I leave for my children and my community.
