Managing Partner, Global Initiatives for Gallup

Wallace "Todd" Johnson earned a Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University in 1988 and a Master of Science from the London School of Economics in 1991.

Johnson joined The Gallup Organization in 1995. He currently serves as Managing Partner, Global Initiatives. Throughtout his tenure at Gallup, Johnson has held leadership positions related to Gallup's global activities and operations. From 1995 until 2002, he was responsible for Gallup's Latin American operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Venezuela. Concurrently, he spearheaded the merger and acquisition of the Gallup companies in Spain and Brazil. In 2002, Johnson was asked by Gallup's Executive Committee to lead two new global initiatives: Gallup's Global Account Management System and Global Job Creation.

"I am inspired by the leadership role that Creighton University is taking on a range of important community issues, and very specifically, its sponsorship of the Omaha Business Ethics Alliance," Johonson said. "Moreover, it is exciting to see how integrated the business community is becoming with the actual "delivery" of business education at the University. Creighton has a unique and timely opportunity to be the global gold standard in this regard. I am both proud and enthusiastic to be associated with these important initiatives and movements."
