Summary
Michael Johnson is an experienced finance and operations professional with 11 years of recent hands-on experience and a multi-decade career leading accounting, cost control, and systems implementations across manufacturing and nonprofit organizations. He has led large ERP and payroll projects (SAP, Kronos, Intacct), drove process consolidations that reduced headcount while improving controls, and designed repeatable financial structures for multi-site rollouts. At The Chapel he translated complex ministry needs into a simplified, scalable finance model and delivered a successful Intacct implementation and integrated payment/payroll upgrades within six months. Earlier roles at Unilever and Abbott show deep expertise in cost accounting, asset control, and automation—often saving hundreds of thousands annually through procedural and system changes. Now based in Davenport, Florida, he’s a trained watercraft deckhand at Walt Disney World and brings a practical, frontline perspective that informs his collaborative leadership style. He prefers solutions that are simple, consistent, and repeatable, and thrives when teams include both decision-makers and end users who share ownership of outcomes.
