About Me

Garima Verma is an Indian-American creative storyteller and forward-thinking strategist that bridges the worlds of culture, politics, media and social change. With 10+ years of experience spanning entertainment, political campaigns, and impact organizations, she specializes in transforming visionary ideas into actionable strategies, impactful programming and compelling narratives on-and-offline. She strongly believes in the power of storytelling and culture as a catalyst for social change. 

The current focus of her is two-fold: strategy and storytelling. She is committed to help leaders, campaigns, entertainment productions and organizations train their teams, innovate, build more strategically, facilitate meaningful partnerships and craft intentional, resonant narratives that successfully navigate the complex landscape of today and create tangible change, no matter their resources. Garima is also a creative in her own right as a writer, producer, director, speaker, facilitator and more. For the past few years as an independent advisor, she has partnered with mission-driven leaders to build strategy and infrastructure, shape narrative frameworks and communicate with audiences, design and facilitate meaningful programming and so much more. She has also been working with showrunners and writers on story and script development, event production and narrative design, interview facilitation, producing, directing and more. Her clients have included people and organizations like Steven Soderbergh, DCCC, OceanWise, GoFundMe and other change-makers.

Garima is a driving force behind digital and communication campaigns across industries — from entertainment at Paramount Pictures to political campaigns like Stacey Abrams for Governor and nonprofits like Ocean Wise. As Chief Digital Officer for Stacey Abrams' gubernatorial campaign, she built, scaled and led a digital operation, raising $38 million and executing a $12 million digital-first paid persuasion and mobilization program. She also established the digital program for First Lady Dr. Jill Biden's FLOTUS office and served as a digital strategist on the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign.  As a Strategy, Programming and Partnerships lead advisor with Align Social Impact, Garima helped build the Virgil Abloh Foundation from the ground up, harnessing the power of creativity to shift culture and support the next generation of creative changemakers. 

Garima’s unique lens blends her background in entertainment — working on projects like Mission: Impossible – Fallout, black-ish, and The Oscars — with a deep commitment to impact. This intersection allows her to craft culturally resonant, strategic campaigns and meaningful, resonant stories that shift narratives and inspire and mobilize change.
