Nicholas Johnson, Chief Evangelist, Kahua

Nicholas Johnson has served the design and construction industry for 40+ years. Starting his career as an electrical designer and drafter, he was among the first to create a career around CAD/CAM technology. That path led to a leadership position in IT with Heery International, an Atlanta-based design and construction company. In that role he learned about construction project management software, and specifically a startup company called Constructware. He was with the Constructware team for 6 years before they were acquired by Autodesk. Since that time Nicholas has held sales leadership positions at Autodesk, Trimble Connected Water, Beck Technology, and Trimble e-Builder. He twice took two year working sabbaticals to serve a greater cause. The first with Amigos for Christ, a non-profit serving the poorest of the poor in Nicaragua, and more recently, with the Society of St Vincent DePaul, serving the poor in North Georgia.
