Salesforce Project Management Software - Mission Control Team

Colin Johnson

CEO & CO-FOUNDER
Colin’s passion for exceptional project management led him to start a business to enable it, alongside his good friend Chris. Together, they shared a drive to develop and evolve industry leading software. Cue Aprika. Having worked extensively as a Business Analyst and Project Manager and with the Salesforce CRM and force.com platform, Colin appreciates how seamless project delivery can make all the difference to an organization’s bigger picture. He excels at taking client briefs, understanding business requirements and coming up with strategic, fit-for-purpose solutions.

CTO & CO-FOUNDER
Having worked as a dedicated Saleforce.com Developer for more than 15 years and having delivered a diverse range of Salesforce projects globally, Chris has had a front seat in its evolution. It seemed only natural to team his technical expertise with Colin’s business acumen to start Aprika and to bring innovative third party integration to the industry. At Aprika, Chris oversees the development team and the delivery of product releases, maintenance and application security. He uses Mission Control’s ‘Project Builder’ every day because ‘it’s great for building out Project Requirements on the fly’ and can be used to drive an entire project. Screen time doesn’t stop with the job, Chris is a keen gamer. He also loves surfing (when time allows) and running (fast) when not!
