Jason L. Johnson
Over 20 years crafting high-impact learning experiences and digital solutions.
20+ Years of Experience
I bridge gaps between complexity & meaningful delivery—with a complementary blend of leadership & technical capabilities to deliver the right solution.
With 20+ years in Learning & Development, I lead enterprise training initiatives that align workforce capability with business outcomes. My experience includes workforce readiness, training rollout strategy, LMS implementation, and executive stakeholder engagement, with a focus on scalable, performance-driven solutions. I have led cross-functional efforts across HR, operations, and technical teams to deliver learning ecosystems supporting onboarding, leadership development, and technical skill growth.
I bring strong expertise in instructional design and delivery across eLearning, ILT/vILT, simulation, microlearning, and performance support. My approach emphasizes real-world application, evaluation strategy, and measurable impact—bridging learning design with operational performance.
Additionally, I have a technical foundation that complements my L&D leadership, including experience with modern web development frameworks and AWS-based deployment. This enables me to build scalable, integrated learning solutions while leveraging AI tools to accelerate development and content creation.
