Steven Johnson
@stevenjohnson1
I build economic opportunity through strategic partnerships, financial strategy, and community-focused business growth.
What I'm looking for
I lead Atlas Opportunity Partners, advising nonprofit and business leaders on financial strategy, partnership structuring, growth planning, and stakeholder-ready financial narratives. My work includes a multi-month engagement advising a major Delaware nonprofit after reviewing five years of audited financial statements.
Previously, I led statewide financial empowerment at United Way of Delaware, helping develop more than 60 small-business owners into six-figure revenue producers, supporting seven women-owned restaurant launches, and producing statewide entrepreneurship programming. I also build business media through The Only Business Podcast and bring commercial, brand, financial services, and community-development experience across DETV, TD Bank Wealth Management, Verizon, and AT&T.
