Justin Watt

Justin Watt

Director of Business Development

Justin Watt spent his time in the military in the 101st Airborne and 6th Ranger training battalion. His deployment to Yusufiyah was chronicled in the book "Blackhearts" by Jim Frederick. Since leaving the ARMY, he has done speaking engagements for the former ARMY Chief of Staff (General Odierno), former SMA Raymond Chandler and former PACOM commander General Brooks. He has also lectured at West Point and the Command and Staff General College on topics ranging from leadership to professional ethics.

When Justin first transitioned out of the Army, he launched his own business in Salt Lake City, Utah, building customized computers and providing IT support for other businesses. Under his leadership, the business flourished, eventually reaching 1.5 million dollars per year in revenue and growing to twelve full-time employees. After selling the company, he took a job with the largest media agency in Utah, Mediaone. During a product development competition for Mediaone, Justin and his partner developed the business plan for Growtix, which was consequently brought to market by Mediaone and is now valued at over 20 million dollars.

Justin's leadership, strategic planning capability and business acumen make him a valuable asset to the Tisdale Group as director of business development.
