Z Johnson started her career in market research as a survey programmer over 20 years ago in the basement of a United States national laboratory. Since then, she has held leadership roles supplier-side, brand-side, and with market research technology firms. Her broad experience has provided her unique perspectives on the industry. She pulls these perspectives into play when working with customers through MRXplorer, where she helps close the gap between brands purchasing research technology and using that research technology. In her spare time, she enjoys as wide a range of hobbies as her career experience: reading, watercolor painting, boardgames, piano playing, calligraphy, and, on occasion, 3D printing.
