Tim Johnson
Founder
I spent two decades in the corporate world delivering results and leading teams across engineering & design, sales, analytics, operations, marketing, finance, and software. That work spanned companies of all sizes and industries, from Fortune 500 corporations to small growing businesses. That experience taught me two things: most business problems are not what they appear to be on the surface, and the interesting work is the diagnosis. It also taught me Lean Six Sigma, the discipline of finding waste, eliminating it, and building systems that improve themselves over time.
Before all of that, I earned a United States Soccer Federation National C License and spent years coaching youth soccer. That work shaped how I think about development — patient, sequenced, measurable. Lean Six Sigma turned out to be the same discipline applied to a different game.
I started Leanteligence to bring that combination — diagnostic rigor and coaching instinct — to small businesses, starting close to home in Summerville. Big consulting firms are optimized for big clients. Small businesses need something different: someone who can sit at the table, understand what is actually happening, and help you make a small number of high-quality changes without burning down what already works. That is what I do.
