✨ Employee Spotlight: Brian Johnson ✨
This week, we’re proud to spotlight Brian Johnson, Account Executive at Cooper Enterprises, Inc.
Brian lives in Cincinnati with his wife, Beth, their beagle, Homer, and their cat, Pablo. Originally from Cleveland, he later moved to Dayton, where he attended junior high, high school and Wright State University. Brian also has two sons, Alexander and Oliver, who live in North Dakota and Minneapolis, respectively.
In his role at Cooper Enterprises, Brian works in sales across Southwest Ohio, Southern Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. More recently, he has also begun supporting accounts in North Carolina, Georgia and Texas. What he enjoys most is meeting and talking with customers, learning about their needs and finding ways Cooper Enterprises can help.
One of Brian’s proudest accomplishments is being part of the Cooper Enterprises team and staying flexible as his territory has evolved over the years. He has previously covered all of Ohio and Indiana, as well as Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Michigan. He’s also proud of his involvement with SkillsUSA and the Ohio Valley Chapter of AWI, where he serves as Chapter Vice President.
Brian says being a good teammate means considering what his coworkers do and the challenges they face—with a little humor mixed in about everything they have to put up with from him!
A few fun facts about Brian: he’s an amateur photographer, enjoys the outdoors and traveling, is a Formula 1 fan and participates in competitive r***e shooting. 📸🏎️
When it comes to advice, Brian says he’s still learning himself and remains open to advice from employees across every department. He believes Cooper Enterprises is a great place to work because of the people who take pride in the jobs they do and the products they make. That commitment, he says, makes ongoing customer relationships and repeat sales one of the easiest parts of his job.
Brian would also like to give a special shoutout to Jerry Truex: “Thank you for that phone call almost six years ago.”
Thank you, Brian, for your flexibility, dedication to our customers and the experience you bring to the Cooper Enterprises team! 👏
