Bio: Garry Golden, Senior Futurist of futurethink
Garry Golden is an expert on emerging trends and identifying change. His foresight has informed organizations like McGraw-‐Hill, Reliant, and S&P. Garry is a professionally trained futurist who writes, speaks, and consults about the
driving forces 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 international keynotes and corporate change leadership seminars. His
insights on how to identify and act on change have inspired transformations at the
highest levels of many successful organizations. His talks on how to align talent
development to coming industry and market transitions have been shared with and
implemented by such organizations as the McGraw-‐Hill Companies, Goodyear, S&P,
and Reliant Energy.
Garry serves as Adjunct Lecturer on the Future of Energy and Environment for the
University of Houston. He has consulted on projects as diverse as the future of
utilities; transportation and supply chains; food safety and health; financial services;
and sustainable retail packaging. An expert communicator, Garry has brought his avant-‐garde thinking and provocative approach
to change to audiences at TEDx, Wharton, the Cheung Kong School of Business in Beijing, and beyond. He is the co-‐author of the
inspiring book Designing Your Future, and author of the upcoming book titled The Age of Adaptive Experiences.
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.) If left to his own devices at a museum gift shop, odds are a micro-‐machine or geological piece
will be finding itself a future home.
