Trista will MacGyver her way into the most unexpected situations to discover the signals of the future that will help you make the world a better place.
She once negotiated her way into an interview with Sir Richard Branson and was later invited to his home on Necker Island. During this adventure, she got her DNA sequenced, was mobbed by a conspiracy of lemurs, watched Richard kitesurfing in a tuxedo, and gave a speech on the future of doing good. She'd have thought it was a fever dream if she didn't have pictures.
Trista has worked in nonprofits since she was 13 years old. Her last job was the president of a community of grantmakers that gave away $1.5 billion a year. She is now the President of FutureGood, a consultancy focused on growing a movement of visionaries dedicated to building a better future.
To develop her futurism skills she learned about scenario planning at Oxford University, hung out with the technologists at Singularity U, went to Amy Webb's Future History Festival, and trained with the team at the Institute for the Future. She also has a Magic 8 ball on her desk.
