You have the vision, and the product expertise.
I know how to build great companies and accelerate growth.
I partner with early-stage (pre-seed to Series B) teams to lay a strong foundation for aggressive growth.
Most advisors focus on either strategy, or execution. I excel at both: working with leaders to make their customers wildly successful, and rallying teams around ambitious goals.
My approach draws upon two decades of experience scaling high-growth companies like BrightHire, the Corporate Executive Board, Opower, and Periscope Data.
I’ll be your true partner - not a hands-off advisor who parachutes in each week for an hour. I understand founders’ and leaders’ challenges, and can provide you with clear and actionable industry insights that enable your teams to connect the dots, see patterns, and identify the quickest ways to unblock their path to success. I tailor my work to meet your most urgent needs. Sometimes that means working directly with founders, other times with specific leaders to optimize critical functions like customer success or operations.

Ensure you have the right team structure in place to support accelerated growth

What people are saying
We brought Erin in when we were still early stage. At the time, it felt like a luxury investment - but the return has been undeniable.
What really sets Erin apart is her deep understanding of how businesses operate and what leaders need to perform at their best. From the start, she earned the trust of our entire team. That trust and deep assessment work allowed her to see our reality clearly and spot patterns we were too close to recognize ourselves. The work she led didn’t just produce a report - it gave us actionable data that shaped real decisions.
As we worked with Erin, our leadership team grew more confident operating with less friction, greater honesty, and stronger alignment around what matters most. These shifts ultimately changed how the entire company communicates and executes. We're building the foundation for scale, and Erin helped us get there years ahead of schedule.

What puts Erin in the top 5% is her rare ability to excel at both high-level strategy and nitty-gritty operational details. While many startup advisors regurgitate advice you could read yourself in a Paul Graham essay, Erin gets things done. She was an exceptional advisor on topics including go-to-market strategy, sales operations, and marketing. Erin is a true gem in the startup advisor community.
