Marty III holds a bachelor’s degree in finance, from the University of Delaware, and he has been with Judge for the past 12 years, serving in a number of roles.

“I am thrilled to be handing over the CEO role to Marty,” said Martin E. Judge, Jr., founder and Chairman of the Board. “I founded Judge with $2,000 I borrowed from my father and had the pleasure to lead and watch it grow for the past 47 years. To be able to pass the reigns of the company on to a third generation of Judge is exciting. We have gone from a small three-person-company based out of one office, to a global organization with 35 offices in four countries and thousands of placements. The company is on solid ground, with a very accomplished management team led by Brian Anderson, great staff across the company, and a client base made up of many of the Fortune 100, as well as several promising startups. The future is very bright for Judge, and I know Marty is the right leader at the right time, to take on our goal of becoming a $1 billion organization.”
