Ellen Johnson, treasurer and senior vice president at the Interpublic Group of Companies, always keeps the end goal in sight.

Since her early 20s, when she left public accounting to begin a career in corporate finance, Johnson has methodically built up her resume. From the 24-year-old who didn’t yet have an M.B.A., but nonetheless talked Revlon Corp. into giving her the chance to work in financial planning and analysis, to stints as assistant treasurer, to her current position at Interpublic, Johnson has asked for and received more responsibility.
