Bio
Chris Reed
I consider myself winning the lottery being fortunate enough to work with Erica for over 7 years. We were Co-Managers at REO World, running two different departments most of the time. Even though we were always competing to be the best, we were wise to collaborate and work together knowing that if we joined forces, we would be even more successful...and we were. That is a business lesson that many people don’t ever learn or even able to apply. However, because of Erica's business acumen and the fact that she is a genuinely good person, our professional relationship and success was a dream come true. I would personally bet on her success at any organization that is smart enough to hire a rarity like her.
Robert Bauer
Erica’s management style and task organization provided a refreshing departure from managers who succumb to the pitfalls of managing by spreadsheets. Her clear expectations and results driven project management added value to every project on which we collaborated. Most impressive, though, was Erica’s analytical skills and detailed inquisition of relevant processes: I could always count on Erica to be thorough and provide suitable follow up.
