Josh Walter is the CEO of BrandJump. Josh’s role is to create and execute the vision and strategy of the company. He is charged with driving the business of BrandJump’s clients, leading on the development of new client acquisition and ensuring the strength of the BrandJump team continues to thrive.
In 2000, Josh attended the University of Iowa for his undergraduate degree. After four cold winters in Iowa City, he returned to his roots in Southern California in 2004 to pursue his JD/MBA at Pepperdine University. During his four years at Pepperdine, he decided that rather than practicing law, he very much wanted to find an owner/operated business to learn and grow with. After becoming a member of the California Bar in 2008, he worked with his now business partner for a year and a half in his partner’s 30-year old decorative lighting agency, and ultimately discovered BrandJump together.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Josh takes great pleasure in the beach living his hometown has to offer, residing in Marina Del Rey, CA. During the winter, he very much enjoys driving up to the mountains for snowboarding and R & R.
