Johnson has vast experience in financial management and strategic planning and will play a vital part in the firm’s continued growth.
As CFO, Johnson will lead financial operations. Her role includes budgeting, forecasting, analysis, and risk management for PGAV Destinations, PGAV Planners, and PGAV Architects.

She has a strategic mindset and a proven track record. She aligns well with our goals and will ensure our financial strategies are ideally positioned to support our growing studios.”

The expansion will further the firm’s collaborative efforts in creating exceptional destinations in the travel, tourism, and entertainment sectors, both locally and worldwide.
