Using games to make a real world impact is Jude’s passion. Her recent venture, PlayMob, focuses on good causes and gaming, which has already made a significant impact on the world.

Jude is a BAFTA judge for games, a member of NEXTERS for Big Society, the Stone Club, UKIE (UK Interactive Entertainment), advocate of the Tech City start-up scene and speaker at various events such as Iod, SXSW, Women in Games, Games for Brands and Tech@State.
“School for Creative Startups is a fantastic initiative which I feel will enable more creative entrepreneurs to be equipped with the business skills to make their idea a success.
The creative sector in the UK is a hugely valuable contributor to the economy and if we can help individuals take their business ideas to reality then we will see even more creative activity and businesses in the UK grow and prosper.
As a Titan for the program I am honoured to be able to pass on my learnings and work with those starting up new businesses to help accelerate ideas and plans.”
