Bio

In work and life, Christina Geist tries to leave a positive footprint on her corner of the world using the simplest tool – her words.

As Co-Founder and Strategy Director of branding and design firm True Geist, Christina crafts brand positioning, names clients’ companies, products and services, and writes brand messaging to break through and compete in our increasingly noisy world.

As a New York Times bestselling children’s book author, Christina spirited storytelling connects with kids, families and teachers as they navigate daily routines like bedtime, milestones like the first day of school, and develop lifelong skills like making a new friend.

As the Founder of Boombox Gifts, Christina built a brand from the ground up over 8 years, helping more than half a million people around the world use simple technology to co-create collaborative memory boxes for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirements and all gift occasions. (Boombox was acquired by Tribute.co in 2023) 

Christina is a dynamic speaker who believes your life is measured in your relationships, not your accomplishments. She's married to her high school prom date, Sunday TODAY and Morning Joe host Willie Geist, and lives in New York with their kids, Lucie and George. She's from a loud, loving family and makes a mean chicken parm.
