Gisella Lomax
Judah has made a flying start to his new career with the United Nations, following his move from the field of journalism, and has fast established himself at UNHCR as a talented, dependable, creative and highly collaborative colleague.
Judah brought fresh energy, approaches and valued skill sets to the team, and by hitting the ground running at a particularly intense time. His highly organised, empathetic and intentional approach to work and supporting fellow team members has helped Judah establish warm relationships both with members of the core Social team and beyond…
His creativity in terms of content creation, his highly-organised, process and task-orientated approach to work, and his sensitivity and understanding of the manifold political and public issues we have to keep in mind when communicating as UNHCR on social media is of particular value. His radar is particularly attuned to public narratives, reputational risks, political pitfalls and ethical issues around content, yet balancing it with production of people-orientated, engaging and thoughtful social videos.

“Judah is one of those rare journalists who cares deeply about the topics he covers and how he covers them… I was always impressed by his ambition and thoughtfulness. He truly wants a more informed world, and wants us to understand the world around us. He is also just a lovely human being and fantastic colleague. I have greatly enjoyed watching him grow in front of a camera and become a commanding, but empathetic presence.”

“I spent several years alongside Judah at NowThis, eventually becoming his manager in 2020. I could not have been more excited for Judah to join my team. He was like a news chameleon, doing everything from hosted shows to supercut videos to web articles to long-form international field reporting. He moved seamlessly from platform to platform, adapting quickly and with a smile to new platforms like Snapchat and NowThis' recently relaunched website. Judah is not only a pleasure and joy to work with, he is incredibly driven and eager to learn new things. He has impeccable news judgment and an intense, deep understanding of international affairs and politics. Anyone who gets the chance to work with Judah is a lucky person, and I would recommend him in the highest regard.”
