Rudolph Johnson, PhD, is a Chemical Toxicologist who brings over 25 years of experience bridging scientific leadership, program management, and strategic advisory work across government, industry, and international organizations. Early in his career at BASF Corporation, he managed the end-to-end development of high-margin industrial and pharmaceutical products, led competitive analysis and product lifecycle planning, and directed the scale-up of laboratory innovations into large-scale production — gaining hands-on experience bridging R&D, manufacturing, and market strategy across sites in Michigan, Massachusetts, and North Carolina.

Dr. Johnson has built a track record of high-level strategic and operational leadership, directing multimillion-dollar programs and budgets at the CDC, the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene. He has developed laboratory facilities, operations, and laboratory networks. His international advisory experience includes work with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and the United Nations. 

Domestically, he has advised the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on multiple topics, the National Academy of Sciences, and the FBI, and has briefed senior government leadership including the President's National Security Council. This blend of private-sector business acumen and large-scale public and international program leadership positions him to advise organizations on strategy, regulatory navigation, and operational scale-up in complex, high-stagnant-stakes environments.
