Hi, I'm
ZACH JOHNSON
Product Leader. Builder. Dad.
I'm a product leader who codes. I've led the creation of 5 major products from scratch that have generated over $10M in revenue. I build with small, skilled teams and AI-powered tools to ship faster than anyone expects.
ABOUT
I'm a product leader who codes. Since joining Impact Suite in December 2020, I've led the creation of 5 major products from scratch that have generated over $10M in revenue across B2B and consumer markets.
Most recently, I led a strategic pivot to K-12 education. When our compliance partner withdrew, my 2-person dev team and I built the entire Impact Suite for Schools platform in 5 months — a project typically requiring 10 engineers and a year. Using AI-powered development tools, we achieved $300K ARR and a $3M+ pipeline by October 2025, serving 20 school districts.
I'm passionate about mental health technology, AI-native product development, and proving that small, skilled teams with the right tools can outpace traditional development timelines.
