Kyle Johnson's Experience:

• V.P. - Strategic Accounts at WHI Solutions

  June 2003 - July 2009

  In charge of the strategic business development as a Vice President at WHI including sitting on the management committee. We took this company from $2 Million a year to over $26 Million a year in a 6 year span. I was responsible for landing accounts with ACDelco/General Motors, Advance Auto, Volvo Mack Trucks and US Auto Force among other big wins that drove our earnings.

• V.P. - Information Services at WHI Solutions

  January 2001 - June 2003

  Helped shape the information services of this company including designing their electronic catalog database when WHI purchased Profit Pro, Inc. I was responsible for moving all of the technical and operational knowledge from the old company to the new including helping the new strategy of a .com company that needed to move to offering information services.

I also was responsible for an electronic catalog department that over 60 data entry people and 15 to 20 IT and data support personnel. I helped move that catalog to a fully electronic update system by helping to develop industry data standards, coaching manufacturers in how to implement those standards for electronic data submittal and redesigning our database and surrounding systems to take electronic data. The resulting system fully eliminated the need for data entry and helped increase our catalog market share from roughly 10% to over 35% of the market.

Customer support was also responsible for software testing under my watch. Prior to serving as COO I was a programmer and systems analyst for four years.
