WRA Board of Directors

Jamie Starr has spent the majority of his career in marketing roles with brands in the outdoor industry. He’s currently the head of brand marketing at Backcountry, and has also worked with The North Face, DPS Skis, The Oberalp Group, and Spyder Active Sports.

Before entering the outdoor industry brand space, Jamie began his career as a practicing lawyer, having studied natural resources law at the University of Colorado Law School in Boulder, serving as an editor for the Colorado Journal of International Environmental Law and Policy, and interning with both the National Wildlife Federation’s Rocky Mountain Natural Resource Center and in the lands department at Western Resource Advocates. Jamie hails from Crested Butte, Colorado, where his mountain obsession all began.

“By leveraging a unique combination of legal, policy, and scientific expertise, WRA offers a thoughtful approach to addressing our era’s most pressing environmental issues by working effectively across stakeholder groups to craft mutually beneficial solutions. The result is tangible movement toward a more sustainable future for communities, businesses, and ecosystems in the West. I’m honored to serve on the WRA Board in such pivotal times.”
