Professional Bio
As the Chief Executive Officer of OneRedmond, and Founding Partner of OneEastside, Kristina Hudson is committed to growing our economy by working with businesses, educational institutions, local government, and community based-organizations on priority issues like affordable housing, workforce development, and small business support.
Hudson has received five International Economic Development Council awards. The most recent was awarded in September 2022 for the OneEastside SPARK Program which worked with thousands of small businesses across the region and supported over 68,000 jobs. Hudson’s work is used a model for establishing technology hubs and industry clusters around the world.
Hudson’s unique economic development programs have received significant grant funding. Over the years, these programs have been awarded over $2 Million in federal grants for programs focused on small businesses. Kristina’s WIN Reactor Program was one of 20 in the nation to be awarded a Joint Innovation Accelerator Challenge Grant with funding from the Economic Development Administration, the Small Business Administration, as well as the Department of Labor. While at OneRedmond, Hudson created one of seven programs that was awarded grant funding from JPMorgan Chase Global Philanthropy’s Small Business Forward Initiative. All programs worked to assist women and minority-owned companies to increase the diversity of small business owners in the region.
Hudson also helms the Washington Interactive Network (WIN) which is under the umbrella of OneRedmond. As the visionary founder of WIN, she’s helped brand the region as a global center for interactive media development and intellectual property creation. Crowned “Queen of Interactive Media” from the Puget Sound Business Journal, Hudson works tirelessly to promote the local industry to ensure the region holds its place as a global leader of interactive entertainment.
