marjorie clifton is the co-founder of in good company institute, a trusted voice at the intersection of communications, policy, and power. for more than two decades, she has advised leaders across four presidential administrations, helping global corporations and nonprofits navigate crisis and change. she also spent 15 years as a national media commentator, appearing regularly on networks like cnn, fox, nbc, and pbs.
