David and Leigh Johnson

David and Leigh joined SDSVP in the summer of 2006 and jumped right in. David was elected to the SDSVP Board, served as Co-Chair of the Investment Working Group and created our first Discovery Team to research the issues facing the elderly in San Diego. Leigh brought her dynamic energy to the Social Chair position by adding a new flair to our ever growing parties and as well being instrumental in enhancing our Education Committee.

Leigh’s years of experience at Microsoft helped her to create a very successful executive coaching practice, and David, after working with McKenzie and Bain, has his own private investment firm. Their family consists of their five-year-old daughter, Mallory; David’s thirteen-year-old son, Nathaniel; and their dog, Dulce de Leche.

Philanthropy has always been a family tradition for the Johnsons, first being introduced to SDSVP through Leigh’s parents, Partners, Mike and Joyce Kole. One of their favorite books is entitled Three Cups of Tea, about how one person can make all the difference in the world. David and Leigh find participating in SDSVP a great way to make that difference in San Diego and they want to pass that family tradition to Mallory.
