Senior Director of Business Development, Global Partnerships
Verizon Media
My name is Chris Judge and I'm a Senior Director of Business Development within the Global Partnerships org at Verizon Media. My focus is on evaluating, structuring, and negotiating strategic partnerships to help distribute Verizon Media's ad products, content experiences, and utilities. I joined the company in late 2012 and have been here through its evolution from Yahoo, to Oath, to Verizon Media. Although I work in a business development role within the tech and digital media space, my background is a little bit different. I worked in a series of finance and analysis roles prior to joining Verizon Media — first at a hedge fund, then at an M&A advisory firm. I then transitioned into a deal-making role at Microsoft Capital where I spent a few years prior to joining Yahoo. I live in Los Angeles, but I'm originally from Seattle, and I graduated from NYU in 2004.
