Julie Scates
OWNER & FOUNDER
Upon graduating from Colorado State University, Julie started her career with an international staffing firm and was fortunate enough to work for several industry pioneers who provided her with ample opportunity to learn, explore and grow. In 2000, Julie, along with her father and sister, founded J2T. Twenty-one years later, it’s still a family business. She is an alumni member of Entrepreneurs’ Organization Colorado and a founding member of Vistage Montana. Julie spent the first 35 years of her life in Colorado and moved to Bozeman, MT in 2008 which she now calls home.
“I consider all the members of the J2T organization family – many of whom have been here over 10, 15, even 19 years. They represent the best of the best in our industry and are J2T’s greatest asset. Not only because they are best in class, but because they have the most heart. As such, I work diligently to align the company and myself with people and organizations who share in that core value.”
+ Julie was raised in Colorado and has lived in Montana for the last 15 years. She teaches in the College of Business and Entrepreneurship at Montana State University (Go Bobcats), and loves all things Colorado and Montana, including fishing, hiking, camping, and skiing. She can usually be spotted with her two dogs, traveling with her nieces and nephew, or on her front porch swings with friends.
