Eric Johnson

Job Title: Editorial Director

Location: San Diego, CA

Direct Dial:

Job Description:

It’s my job to lead the editorial team globally (U.K., U.S. & India) to produce excellent and relevant content consistently.

Bio:

I grew up in both California and New England. I chose to live in California so yes, I am a fair-weather fan. I am always growing, learning and looking for opportunities to share what I’ve learned with others. Before White DM, I spent eight years as Director of Community and Editor-In-Chief at Buffini & Company. It was there I learned that I’m pretty good at herding cats and helping butterflies to fly in formation.

Favourite Thing:

It’s a tie between growth and excellence.

Pet Hate:

Again a tie between stagnation and mediocrity.

Special Talent:

Always seeing the positive opportunities in a negative situation.

What makes me happy:

Spending time with my wife Lisa and boys, Jake & Cruz, my Rottweiler’s, Everest & Desto, democracy, San Diego weather, muscle cars, good books, winning, being my best and helping others be their best too.

My worst habit:

I’ve been told that I have a tendency to exaggerate.

Person I would most like to meet and why:

I’m interested in learning from leaders who have persevered through great challenges and truly made a difference in the lives around them. I would love to meet people like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill. (I also think it would be cool to spend an afternoon with Frank Sinatra.)
