Judson Taft "Jud" Bergman (February 1, 1957 – October 3, 2019) was an American entrepreneur who was the chairman, founder, and CEO of Envestnet.

Biography

Bergman was born in Crookston, Minnesota on February 1, 1957. He attended Wheaton College, where he studied English, played basketball, and met his first wife, the late author Susan Bergman. They had four children together: Elliot, Elise, Natalie, and Bennett.

Bergman eventually earned an MBA from Columbia University. In 1999, he founded Envestnet, a financial technology company that provides integrated portfolio, practice management, and reporting solutions to financial advisors and institutions.

On January 1, 2006, Bergman's wife, Susan, died in Barrington, Illinois at age 48 after a three-year battle against a brain tumor.[1] Later that year, he met an independent financial advisor named Mary Miller and they got married in 2010.

On October 3, 2019, Bergman and Miller were killed when a 34-year-old woman crashed her Volkswagen into the taxi they were riding on Highway 101 in San Francisco, California. The woman, 34-year-old Emilie Ross, and the taxi driver, 42-year-old Berkant Ramadan Ahmed, were also killed in the crash. Ross was allegedly under the influence of alcohol and driving on the wrong side of the highway.[2][3]
