"I would like to formally recognize and recommend Mr. Charles Johnson as a highly professional and greatly respected business leader and consultant. I had the pleasure of working with him on a start up venture. Charles was able to employ his proven strategies and professional staff and resources while using his methodologies from Procter & Gamble. He is an "out of the box" thinker (and doer) As a result, we were able to work through many issues and opportunities. Also as a result we were able to get distribution into chain stores, one of which has 3,000 stores. Our canine products are sold in over 20 countries."
