Garry Golden

Garry is ‘beyond passionate’ about the future and the possibilities it offers. And when it comes to the topic of foresight – he’s the real deal: he’s a professionally trained futurist who speaks and consults about issues that will shape society and business in the 21st century. 

His uncanny sense of what will hit—and what won’t—can be seen in FutureThink’s research and heard in his keynotes and corporate leadership seminars. His insights on how to align talent development to coming industry and market transitions have been shared with and implemented by such organizations as the Accenture Operations, Dell, EA Sports, Fidelity, and Walt Disney Company.

Garry’s secret sauce is his ability to take complicated topics and trends and make them understandable and approachable. CEOs at many organizations are amazed at his ability to see implications others don’t and to offer uncommon thinking that motivates people to embrace the future – vs. being scared of it.

Garry has consulted on projects as diverse as the future of energy and transportation; healthcare; food and agriculture; and financial services. 

Garry attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and received his Futures Studies degree from the University of Houston. He is a past board member of the Association of Professional Futurists (APF) as well as an aspiring collector of street art (which will likely be huge in the year 2040.)
