Regina Johnson

Regina is the Strategy Lead for the Microsoft Black Partner Growth Initiative, stemming from a commitment made in June 2020 by CEO Satya Nadella to address racial injustice in various ways. The Initiative focuses on increasing representation within the Microsoft Partner Network and tech business enablement. The Microsoft Partner Network is a hub of people, resources, and offerings brought together to give businesses that become “partners” everything they need to build and deliver successful solutions for their customers. The Initiative works to level the playing field by providing access to resources and generate sustainable economic growth for Black-owned tech companies.

Regina believes that providing access to information and resources is critical and has carried this mission throughout various roles in project management, human resources, federal contracting, local government, and business development. In her most recent role, she collaborated with community and government stakeholders as they sought to create equitable economic development solutions and expand access to capital for minority-owned businesses. She has a Master of Policy Management from Georgetown University and a passion for collaborating to create systemic change.
