William

R. Johnson is an American

businessman and is the former president, CEO and chairman

of H. J. Heinz.

He worked at Drackett as an assistant product

manager for Behold furniture polish, starting at $13,000 a year. He

worked at Ralston joining Heinz in 1982 as general manager of new

business. In 1988, as president and CEO of the poorly performing Heinz Pet

Products, he turned around a poorly performing operation which some analysts

had proclaimed unsalvageable. In 1992, he did the same thing at the In 1993 he was named senior vice president and director, in

1996 president and COO, and in 1998, named

president and CEO. In 2000, he became chairman as well. Johnson is fiscally

conservative, focusing on cost-containment, and the performance of major

brands, as he faces stiff competition and pricing demands from wholesalers. He

is described by coworkers as incredibly intense; he agrees with that

assessment. He credits his father, Bill "Tiger"

Johnson with instilling him with a fiercely competitive spirit

and a passionate desire to win. Tiger Johnson was a center for the San Francisco 49ers and

then head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Johnson also learned motivation from his father and other coaches. In the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,

he told reporter Patricia Sabatini that, "Some people need to be handled

gently. Other people you can kick in the rear end" (May 18, 1998). Johnson

was born and grew up in Palo Alto. He married

Susie in 1974. They have two children, Brad and Tracy, who are also pursuing

careers in business. On February 11, 2009, the board of directors of UPS (NYSE:UPS)

elected William R. Johnson as a new independent director of the company. Johnson

earned his Bachelor of Arts degree

from the University of

California, Los Angeles in 1971. While a student at UCLA, he

was initiated into the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Later, he moved to Austin, Texas to attend the McCombs School of Business at

the University of Texas,

from which he received a master's degree in Business

Administration in 1974.
