Julian Fitzgerald is a social impact strategist who has turned gaming and esports into serious infrastructure for career development. As founder of The Cxmmunity Foundation, he has built innovation labs and industry pathways across K–12 schools, HBCUs, municipalities, and national networks — connecting communities to the future of work through the culture they already live in.
