Craig Johansen
Sourcing and Vendor Management Lead Consultant
Craig is one of the most knowledgeable members of the Seprio team. Having come from a background that touches on a number of sectors, he’s dealt with it all. He has served in many senior executive roles in multiple companies for nearly two decades. He’s generated hundreds of millions in revenue working in industries that use words that are hard to say, much less spell.
Craig finds the challenge of a large project and a good day’s work is exciting; but he’s also a sucker for a good beach day in his home state of California when he’s got time off. Add some soft jazz in the background, and he’s basically in heaven on earth. He is also a huge sports fan, which next to his family is probably his greatest joy. Particularly when his favorite teams, the Los Angeles Lakers or Los Angels Rams, are playing.
See, Craig grew up in an all-boys private school… So, it shouldn’t surprise you to discover that he went buck-wild in college. As president of his fraternity, he made it his mission to have the best 4 years of his life. It was a time filled with so many memories, many of which may be hard to remember. A lot of lessons came from that period of his life, particularly the need for balance throughout the many facets of one’s life.
Craig believes in a harmonious way of living. The world seems to be extremely divided over politics, beliefs, and just about anything possible. There’s not enough time in our lives to dwell on the negatives, so he chooses not to spend much time in arguments or debates. There’s no point, especially when your kindness is more often than not confronted with arrogance. The most important thing is to dream big…. And don’t play it safe!
