Relationships based on trust and results

I may be biased, having hired her at Salesforce and Zuora, but it's hard to find a person more experienced than Judy at marketing, product, and go-to-market strategies."

Tien Tzuo

Zuora CEO

Judy is that rare combination of effective and passionate; a board member who holds you accountable as CEO but has your back without hesitation when things go wrong. Wootric is lucky to have had her on our board in its formative years."

Deepa Subramanian

Wootric CEO

Judy's leadership, as one of the original product managers, was instrumental to building the customizable Salesforce platform, as well as the first releases of our Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud and AppExchange products."

Dave Moellenhoff

Salesforce CTO & Co-Founder

Judy Loehr is a startup savant. Every startup needs a Judy in their corner."
