Marla Johnson,
CEO and Co-Founder
LeapXL, Little Rock
For the past two decades, Marla Johnson focused on scaling complex Internet-related applications for businesses across multiple industries through the pioneering Aristotle Inc. In that journey, she became adept at prognosticating and advancing game-changing tech innovation – she was often on a speaking circuit telling her audiences what was next and how they could ride the wave of digital transformation.
In 2018, Marla and Brian Stack launched LeapXL to deliver on a dream of simple, fast cloud computing with no code tools for data connection, application development and deployment (iPaaS and aPaaS), resulting in lightning speed development and deployment of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), collapsing months of agile development into a few days and annihilating technical debt.
Johnson said, “LeapXL found a successful foothold in banking, insurance and financial services because leaders in that sector are ready to leap forward technologically, pun intended. They are racing to offer banks and their customers more personalization, flexibility, instant access to secure data, and tools that play well with others, racing toward Banking-as-a-Service.”
LeapXL gives flight to companies in that race to securely modernize and scale a series of legacy, core and innovative fintech together to quickly respond to today’s demanding customers and get more products out to market faster without breakage.
