Whose is a possessive pronoun which is used to show ownership over something. In this example, a possessive pronoun is needed to show that the name Henry Johnson belongs to the former director of the company.
Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition, which means they are being affected directly or indirectly by the action in the sentence.
Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence. Who's is a contraction that stands for "who is."
*When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with "he"' or "'she," use who. If you can replace it with "him" or "her," use whom.
