Bio
Darrick “DJ” Johnson is the Founder & CEO of Sherpa, an AI-powered sports intelligence platform redefining how teams and front offices operate. Sherpa sits at the center of the modern sports organization, turning fragmented data into real-time decisions across scouting, recruiting, contracts, NIL, and financial strategy.
DJ combines a background in enterprise AI and cloud sales at Microsoft, Apple, and Dell with firsthand experience as a former professional football player and sports agent. That dual perspective drives his mission to bring enterprise-grade intelligence to the sports industry.
He’s building Sherpa to become the system of record for sports — where data becomes decisions.
