Daniel Johnson has spent the past 25 years operating businesses in healthcare IT. He started two companies during this time and created a US healthcare business for global data/analytics giant Experian. Most of Dan's career in healthcare has been focused on developing data driven software solutions for hospitals and physician group practices, although the past five years focused primarily on payers, pharmacy chains, and pharmaceutical companies.

In 2009 Dan was awarded E&Y's Entrepreneur Of The Year for the upper Midwest region.

In 2008 Experian acquired SearchAmerica and Dan remained on board to grow the newly created Experian Health into a revenue cycle management leader. Over the next 10 years at Experian Dan lead several acquisitions and the development of innovative new software products that today are used by providers, payers, and pharmacies across the US to streamline administrative process, and facilitate the efficient flow of payments and patient data between the constituents in healthcare.

Since leaving Experian in 2018 Dan has advised several healthcare focused private equity companies and became chairman of the board of an early stage Minnesota identity management company, Token Of Trust.
