Julie Saxon, Head of Consumer Sales at X, gives the morning keynote at the 2025 Terry College Young Alumni Summit on Friday, January 24, 2025, at the University of Georgia Terry Executive Education Center in Atlanta.
As an industry veteran with more than two decades of experience, Julie Saxon has driven growth and revenue at some of the most innovative companies in the advertising ecosystem. Before joining X, Saxon led sales teams at Weather/IBM, Yahoo, Verizon, AOL, Myspace, and now sits as the head of consumer sales at X.
Saxon takes tremendous pride in being a working mother. During her tenure at Verizon, she was honored as “Working Mother of the Year” — an award recognizing leaders who establish the policies, programs and corporate cultures that support working moms.
Saxon also serves on the Advertising/PR Executive board of the University of Georgia Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication and spearheads its mentoring program. She continues to play an active role in advising, supporting, and consulting to ensure the Grady College remains one of the premier producers of advertising talent.
After losing her husband to a six-year battle with cancer in July 2019, Saxon set on a course to not allow her family, or any family, to be defined by cancer. Her commitment to this promise culminated in leading a team of 26 runners with Team Determination, raising close to $200,000 for the American Cancer Society.
Saxon has two daughters who have also made the pledge to not be defined by cancer and plays an active role in Kate’s Club, a bereavement support group for children and family, and Camp Kesem, an institution for children with parents who have, or are fighting, cancer.
