Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmy Wilson is a founder and culture futurist with 20+ years guiding mission-driven organizations through deep, trust-centered transformation across government, social impact, and tech. As CEO of Culture Shift Studio and author of Empathy for Change, she blends systems thinking, human-centered design, and trauma-informed facilitation to help teams unlearn destructive patterns and build resilient cultures where innovation can stick. She partners with CHROs and executives at mid-sized organizations facing growth, leadership shifts, or structural shock, using proprietary frameworks like Six Culture Risks™ and the Thriving Together Method™. A seasoned facilitator and researcher, she also shapes practice through board work, university teaching, and immersive co-design methods (including playable systems and game-based prototyping). Notably, her background spans hands-on product, policy, and community-building— from founding government innovation programs at the White House to running creative inclusion initiatives—giving her a rare lens on culture change that is both strategic and operational.
