We’re honored to welcome Judah Phillips, Chief AI & Product Officer at Market Holdings and Founder of Squark AI, for our Miami AI Month Virtual Info Session β€” an interactive conversation about how data, analytics, and AI are transforming business, community, and creativity. 

Over the past three decades, Judah has built, scaled, and led global teams across internet, software, and SaaS β€” always keeping revenue expansion, cost discipline, and operational excellence at the forefront. He has turned multiple ideas from whiteboard sketches into profitable ventures, including Squark AI β€” a no-code automated ML/AI platform that he bootstrapped, raised, and sold in 2024.

As Chief AI & Product Officer at Market Holdings, Judah now champions predictive and generative AI solutions that help nonprofits raise more funds, reduce acquisition costs, increase lifetime value, and unlock new efficiencies.

🌐 Beyond the boardroom, Judah founded and leads Boston Generative AI Meetup, Boston AI Week, and the AI in Massachusetts Workforce Development & Career Fair β€” events that have brought together over 10,000 people to connect, learn, and collaborate on the future of AI.
