Chief Lived Experience & Wellbeing Officer

Linea Johnson is a nationally recognized mental health strategist, systems change advisor, and storyteller who brings lived experience into the heart of AI transformation. As Chief Lived Experience and Wellbeing Officer at transformental, Linea ensures that inclusion, accessibility, and psychological safety aren’t afterthoughts but are instead foundational to how transformation succeeds.

She has advised Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, academic institutions, and startups, helping them integrate human-centered design, inclusive leadership, and wellbeing metrics into their strategies.
