Edna Johnson is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Content Quality Index, a mission-driven technology company focused on improving how online information is evaluated at the point of consumption. She immigrated to the United States at the age of 11, where the opportunities provided by this country shaped her lifelong commitment to service, accountability, and leadership. Edna served in the United States Navy for 20 years and retired honorably as a Chief Petty Officer in January 2025.

She founded Content Quality Index in response to the growing reliance on platforms like YouTube for news and information, where content quality is often inferred from engagement metrics rather than sourcing or transparency. The platform surfaces structured quality signals without acting as an arbiter of truth, enabling users to make informed judgments.

Johnson leads with a philosophy centered on accountability, transparency, and collaboration, reflected in the platform’s AI-driven, human-in-the-loop design. Johnson began pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in January 2025 to further strengthen her strategic, operational, and organizational capabilities as she scales a technology-enabled organization. She is committed to building practical standards for mental information consumption comparable to food safety standards for physical health.
