Judy Habib is Board Chair of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and past Chair of ALSAC, the fundraising and brand awareness organization of St. Jude.

A passionate advocate for women in leadership, Judy is Immediate Past President of the International Women’s Forum of Massachusetts and 2022 recipient of the Pinnacle Lifetime Achievement Award from the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.

She is the co-founder and CEO of KHJ Brand Activation, which, over three decades, became a top-ranked brand consultancy with clients ranging from startups to Fortune 100 companies. She transitioned ownership in 2022 to the next generation of leaders who renamed the company ‘Ten Feet Tall,’ platforming off her philosophy that great brands are authentic to their purpose and engender a sense of pride to both internal and external stakeholders.

In 1994, Judy was invited to join the St. Jude and ALSAC boards, where her expertise was foundational in positioning the St. Jude brand, including the iconic phrase “Finding cures. Saving children.” St. Jude has become one of the most recognized and trusted brands in the world with more than 11 million donors, supporters and partners raising over $2.6 billion a year. As part of its six-year, $12.9 billion strategic plan, St. Jude is advancing research, enhancing patient care, growing infrastructure, and expanding St. Jude Global, a program that is improving pediatric cancer survival rates internationally – all consistent with the vision of founder Danny Thomas that one day no child will die in the dawn of life.
