Jude Brunt

I’m Jude Brunt, Community Lead at Purppl, where I work with nonprofits and social enterprises to help them secure consulting and coaching services to support them in areas like clarifying their impact, strengthening operations, and building sustainable revenue. My background includes leadership roles with United Way and Big Brothers Big Sisters in Canada and a large children serving nonprofit in the UK, plus 15 years as an entrepreneur co-building a successful restaurant chain in small rural communities, embedding social impact into every part of the business that we could!

I’m a mother of two young adult sons and am on an ongoing Indigenous learning journey, deepening my understanding of history, culture, and reconciliation to show up, speak up, step up as an ally wherever I can. I’m passionate about building relationships, telling authentic stories, and helping organizations connect their vision to the resources and partnerships that make it possible.
