About Me

Johnson spent 56 years at the company before handing over the chairman's post to his son, Gregory, in 2013. His daughter Jennifer, a champion of the company's data science capabilities and fintech initiatives, became CEO in 2020. Under his leadership, the firm's assets under management rose from $2.5 million in 1957 to more than $800 billion when he retired.
