Nicholas Johnson

Nicholas Johnson has 40+ years experience in serving the design and construction industry. Starting his career as an electrical designer and drafter, he was among the first to create a career path around CAD/CAM/BIM technology. That path led to a role in IT with Heery International, an Atlanta-based design and construction company. In that role, he helped administer construction project management software. He subsequently met the team at Constructware and soon after joined their fast-growing company. Six years later they were acquired by Autodesk. Since that time Nicholas has held business 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. As Chief Evangelist, Nicholas will work to help share the good news of how Kahua enables a new form of collaboration that lets every project team member efficiently share information and own their own data.
