About Sierra Langford

I’m a songwriter at heart, which is probably why storytelling has always been at the center of my work.Today I work in marketing and communications in healthcare technology, helping turn complex ideas into stories people can actually understand.At CereCore (an HCA Healthcare company), I lead communications initiatives spanning executive messaging, client storytelling, case studies, and field marketing content that bring healthcare innovation to life. I produce the CereCore Podcast and conduct short form video interviews with clients, colleagues, and partners to capture real stories from across the industry.I’m part of our AI Steering Committee, where I spend time testing and teaching others how tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity can support modern marketing and communications.I started my career as a founder. Through a competitive startup incubator, I launched two ventures: Bliss Box, a mental health wellness care package supporting anxiety and stress, and Strive Society, where I continue to lead marketing initiatives for small businesses across US.Along the way, I won 2nd place in the Miami University Startup Pitch Competition, distributed 80+ care packages to a local therapy practice, and spoke at schools across Williamson County about mental health, resilience, and entrepreneurship.That scrappy, build-it-yourself foundation still shapes how I approach every project.I’m especially interested in the future of storytelling as AI, media, and search reshape how people discover and trust information.Outside of work, you’ll usually find me writing music, taking photos, hiking with my husband, or listening to personal development audiobooks.
