Judith Ford joined the Amsterdam School of International Business (AMSIB) in August 2021 as a lecturer and researcher in leadership and sustainability. In addition to teaching related courses to first and fourth year students, and supervising graduating students through their internships and theses, she is collaborating with AMSIB colleagues on an innovative new minor to develop Changemakers. Her teaching draws from twenty years of international communication, marketing, strategic and sustainability planning work in the tech and experiential design industries.

Dr. Ford's interdisciplinary PhD research within the Athena Institute for Science and Society at the Vrije Universiteit looked at how an institutionalised western worldview has shaped the concept of climate change - limiting the range of solutions deemed viable to address it - and how regional resilience can be built upon the unique assets of place. She is an experienced designer and facilitator of pan-sector collaborations around social and environmental issues. Following her PhD defence, she conducted a three year fellowship in Sustainability and Resilience with the Center for Environmental Inquiry at Sonoma State University, the results of which were outlined in the chapter for Palgrave, “Building a Better Ark: The Potential of Engaging Cultural Thought Leaders and Addressing Power Differential in Authentic, Community-Driven Resilience Planning”. Her concurrent work within the Wine Business Institute research team on organisational trust and resilience in the face of natural disaster resulted in multiple academic and trade articles and presentations, impacting policies within the Sonoma and Napa Valley wine industry. She holds a BA in Communication from California State University, Northridge and an International MBA from the University of San Diego.
