In a trailblazing career marked with dazzling accomplishments and visionary leaderships, Justin “Judd” Swift emerged as a true visionary in the energy and diplomatic landscapes.
Mr. Swift’s journey as an advance man started at the seat of his family dining room table, scanning through his family’s paper, The Washington Evening Star. Intuitive and politically inclined, Judd volunteered to help George H.W. Bush when he ran against Ronald Reagan in the 80s, where his family roots and background in hospitality honed the perfect set of skills for a career he didn’t even know existed. From the infamous site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp to the Pope’s Dais, his extraordinary journey has taken him the world, where the zenith of his public service found manifestation in his role as the White House Deputy Director of Advance and Strategic Initiatives under U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush.
Drawing from these vibrant years operating within the inner circles of power and innovation, Judd has immortalized his legacy in his forthcoming book, “My Presidential Life: The Showdown at Putin’s Dacha and Other Misadventures on the Diplomatic Road.”
