MANAGING PARTNER, ALTURA IMPACT LOWER MIDDLE MARKET

Judy has an outstanding track record of building world-class firms and developing the talent to grow them.

Making a social impact has been an integral part of her work, including launching an award-winning diversity program, expanding a corporate charitable effort that donated more than $35 million to organizations supporting young people, and creating and managing a corporate philanthropy program that supports a wide variety of national charities.

Judy is an executive leader with a proven track record of executing strategic vision and driving organizational performance across firm operations, business development and talent management at private equity and financial services firms.

Before joining Altura, Judy was most recently a founding member of Huntsman Gay Global Capital (now HGGC), where she helped guild the middle market firm’s infrastructure, define the brand, and drive business growth. While there, she developed and executed business building strategies that helped the firm raise a $1.2 billion debut fund and build a top-performing, 60-person firm in four years.

Prior to that, Judy spent eight years at Bain Capital as Head of Global Human Resources. She built and led all human resource strategic plans and played an instrumental role in all aspects of the business related to the firm’s expansion, ranging from the opening of six offices around the globe – including Tokyo, Mumbai, and Munich – to growing staff from 80 to 800 people.

She managed operations throughout the raising of five funds and the diversification of investment strategy. Judy developed processes to support growth and maintain a cohesive, high-performing culture, leading such initiatives as a unified staffing methodology to build cross-cultural teams, global training, and “360-degree” reviews for all staff.

Earlier in her career, Judy was the Director of Global Human Resources at Wellington Management Company and held senior leadership positions at Putnam Investments and MFS.

She holds a BS from LeMoyne College and an MSA from Boston University. She serves on a number of not-for-profit and civic boards.
