Hi there, I’m Lee Johnson, and I’m on a mission to make a difference for underrepresented minorities in the tech world. Everyone deserves an equal opportunity to succeed in their chosen field, regardless of their background. But I also know that achieving that success can be incredibly challenging, especially for those who face additional hurdles due to their ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

That’s where I come in.

With over two decades of experience in the technology industry, I’ve climbed the ranks from a humble developer to a Director of Sales Engineering. Along the way, I’ve gained valuable insights and built a vast network of connections that have allowed me to help countless individuals overcome obstacles and reach new heights in their careers.

But my journey doesn’t stop there. I’ve also co-founded a successful private equity real estate firm, Value Investment Partners, which has managed over 3,000 units valued at over $300 million. Through this venture, I’ve honed my investing, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills – all of which I’m eager to share with you as we work together to conquer your career goals.
