Joe Johnson runs AI and Customer Experience Technology at Perry Homes, one of Texas's biggest private homebuilders. Before that, he was VP of Technology Operations and CISO at Revalize, a PE-backed SaaS company, with earlier stops in cloud ops, IT leadership, and M&A integration. His whole thing is making AI actually pay off; less hype, more shipped: training programs, citizen development, and unsexy wins like ordering dirt better than anyone else in Texas. He's a self-described AI tool evangelist and certified data forklift operator, certificate pending.
