Chris Berger

Director of CommunicationsGHR Foundation

Biography

My purpose is to work in partnership to create racially-conscious spaces that foster radical collaboration and meaningful impact. Recognizing how race matters in my life and work, I aim to lift up the voices and ideas of Black, Indigenous and people of color to accelerate the change they seek.

At GHR Foundation, my role is responsible for global platforms and engagement strategies that advance innovative, community-centered impact initiatives. I champion racial consciousness and intersectional equity within the social sector as a member of the GHR's management team, co-lead of the foundation's $1M BridgeBuilder global innovation challenge, and collaborator with platforms including World Economic Forum, Skoll World Forum, Devex, Racially Conscious Collaboration, OpenIDEO, and more.

Previously, I worked in global social impact at communications agency Weber Shandwick. My prior role was a strategy partner to social entrepreneurs and purpose-driven organizations—many with a global focus—through my consultancy Berger Brands. For two decades, I have worked with visionary changemakers on pressing international issues such as child labor, fair trade, migration, global health, press freedom, and more.
