Kyle Hudson Profile Photo

Kyle Hudson

Co-Founder & CEO

Hi, I’m Kyle. Over my career, I’ve had the chance to work with incredible teams and companies like Google, Harley-Davidson, Disney, Coca-Cola, and more, leading complex projects and launching products that have reached millions. Whether managing multi-million dollar budgets or leading teams of 20+ across creative and technical disciplines, my focus has always been on turning big ideas into reality.

Today, I’m the Founder and CEO of Stacklist, a social bookmarking platform that makes it ridiculously easy to save, organize, and share your favorite links and discoveries. Think of it as the tool we all need to keep the internet a little less chaotic and a lot more personal. I’m also the host of Zero to Umm, a podcast where I sit down with founders and CEOs to talk about the early, messy, and exciting days of building their businesses.

When I’m not working on Stacklist, you can find me experimenting with tech, diving into new ideas, or chasing that next great cup of coffee.
