Jeff Johnson assumes the chief executive officer’s role at WestWayne with a clear agenda: win new business; move into an acquisition mode; and recharge the staff.

“We held our own, but we didn’t have the big, rah-rah new business wins last year,” said Johnson. “We cut programs, parties, incentives—the fun part of this business. A big part of my job is to keep people pumped up. Morale alone can make a difference.”

Johnson, 49, also confirmed he was holding preliminary buy-out talks with at least one Atlanta shop.
