Gina Clifford is a narrative and brand leader who builds content engines for technically sophisticated audiences. With 14+ years across news media, higher education, and global technology — including leading worldwide technology communications for a Fortune 150 corporation and directing a local TEDx — she helps executives turn complex ideas into stories that land with boards, customers, and teams.
She operates as a player-coach by setting the long-term narrative vision, then writing the launch content that ships it. Her work spans ghostwriting an executive feature on AI-driven innovation for WSJ Custom Content and executive-producing the documentary Under Pressure: Innovating a Connected, Minimally Invasive Device.
Gina brings a futures orientation to narrative strategy — combining foresight, design thinking, and systems thinking to help organizations tell credible stories about what comes next in their industries, not just where they've been. Through workshops and facilitated sessions, she helps leadership teams think more expansively about technology, markets, and the businesses they are building.
She holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Central Florida and an MSc in Entrepreneurship in Applied Technologies from the University of South Florida, along with a Futures Thinking specialization from the Institute for the Future.
