Migration maestro. Johnson and his team were the brains behind the Air Force Safety Automated System's successful migration to Amazon Web Services -- an effort that received the Defense Department's first cloud authority to operate and helped trim subsequent approval processes from 18 months to six weeks. AFSAS is considered to be the most mature safety reporting and surveillance tool in DOD and is widely used by other agencies. In the process, Johnson effectively created the road map for cloud acquisition at DOD.
