Paula Johnston is a public sector specialist with over 10 years of experience.

Johnston has already achieved two key milestones for Node4. She has helped the firm become NHS’s Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) compliant, and achieve G-Cloud 9 supplier status. These two accreditations put Node4 in a strong position to fulfil the company’s ambitious growth plans for this sector.
Paul Bryce, Business Development Director, Node4, comments; “This is an important hire for us, as we work to position Node4 as a true end-to-end IT supplier for mid-tier, charity organisations and the public sector. Paula brings a wealth of valuable experience in the sector, and we expect her to play a key strategic role in helping us achieve our growth plans.”
Paula adds; “Node4 is ideally placed to help the public sector face some key IT infrastructure challenges, including security which is a key priority for police, local government and the NHS alike. Now that Node4 is fully HSCN compliant and a G-Cloud 9 supplier, my priority is to build on our experience in this sector to ensure that Node4 is established as a major contender. We are looking forward to this upcoming challenge, and I am excited to be the one spearheading this new development phase for Node4.”
