Judd Zebersky is the Founder of Jazwares, a global toy and consumer products company known for its wide-ranging portfolio of owned and licensed brands. He launched Jazwares in 1997 after leaving his legal career to pursue a long-term entrepreneurial vision: building a company that could combine creativity, product innovation, and brand development at global scale. Over more than 25 years, that vision has helped transform Jazwares into a major platform across toys, plush, collectibles, licensing, and expanding adjacent categories. In 2022, Jazwares was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway.
Zebersky’s leadership has been recognized through multiple business and industry honors. He was named among the South Florida Business Journal’s Ultimate CEOs and included on its Power Leaders list. He has also been honored among entrepreneur recognition lists and has been featured within licensing industry rankings that highlight individuals driving innovation and growth.
Philanthropy has been a foundational element of his company-building approach. From the earliest years of Jazwares, Zebersky established Jazwares Cares, the organization’s philanthropic arm. Through Jazwares Cares, the company has donated millions of toys and supported initiatives designed to promote children’s health, well-being, and educational development through play.
Zebersky holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law.
