At his core, Jud is an obsessive entrepreneurial thinker who never stops developing, evangelizing and thinking about the project at hand. With over 15 years of sales and marketing experience in both the internet and real world marketplaces (Ticketmaster, Disney, Yahoo!), he’s had plenty to obsess about.
As an early Yahoo! employee, Jud spent most of the late ‘90s as part of the West Coast advertising sales group handling everything from straight ad buys to multi-million dollar business development and distribution deals. In the years he spent at the ‘Hoo, he contributed to the income growth that saw Yahoo expand from less than 200 hundred hard-working pioneers to more than 4,500 employees flung across the globe. At the end of his sales tenure, Jud was a Senior Account Executive, generating millions of dollars in sales annually. He then helped create Yahoo’s sales training department where he not only prepared the next generation of Yahoo! sales people but also coached the veteran sales people in customer-focused and benefit-driven sales techniques.
Jud has never stopped innovating – today, he spends his considerable energy being the VP of Sales for Innovate Media where he thinks up new ways to utilize video and video technology to increase eyeballs, conversions and, ultimately, sales for his clients.
Jud has a BA in Philosophy (San Diego State University, class of ’90) which qualifies him to do anything he can think of 
. He lives in Redondo Beach with his wife and their son.
