Kenny Gold
Managing Director, Deloitte Digital

​

Erica was my programming partner at Social Media Week, which means we worked together to define themes, topics, and thought leaders for events. She’s a great listener, a strong communicator, and someone who is passionate about partner success. Any org would be lucky to have Erica on their team!

Creative Agency Partner, Meta

I have been fortunate to cross paths with Erica several times throughout her tenure at Social Media Week and Adweek, and am always delighted to have an opportunity to work with her. I have a great deal of respect for her attention to detail, drive, and consistent over-delivery in every project I’ve seen her execute. In my current role at Meta, Erica has been a critical partner in helping me navigate opportunities to connect with ad agency leadership, proving to be a dedicated partner to executives, CMOs, CCOs, and other stakeholders within our industry. I appreciate her collaborative, empathetic, and innovative way of working, building experiences, and opening doors for fellow industry personnel to shine - and I look forward to working with her again many times over.

Brand & Performance Editor, Adweek

The people who manage major events are often unsung heroes. They don't get to experience the applause from attendees or the clicks and shares of videos and photos from the stage. Erica is an events hero who deserves to have praises sung repeatedly and loudly through a world-class public address system. From the time of "zoom-only" conferences to the advent of hybrid in-person and digital conferences at Adweek, Erica made sure everyone was prepared and that the proceedings went forward smoothly and brilliantly, no matter the situation. She's one of the sharpest, smartest people I've worked with generally in 30 years of media. And her warmth, generosity, quick wit, and quick thinking made her not only essential to work with, but simply a joy to be around. I can't imagine doing another event without her and I hope I never find out what that's like!

Toby Daniels
Founder & CEO, On Discourse

​

I worked with Erica for several years at Social Media Week, where she was a Manager across Editorial, Programming, and Content. Erica frequently served as my right hand in prepping event promotions, podcast interviews, and brainstorming event themes, topics, and speakers. She is someone who is curious about the industry she is in, and makes a point to stay on top of the latest trends and evolutions that can help her team be more effective in their efforts. She is also an incredibly talented writer and is able to quickly write compelling communications that support business goals.

Brian Leddy

SVP of Operations, Adweek

​

I've had the pleasure of having Erica as a teammate at both Social Media Week and then at Adweek (5+ years). Always on top of the latest trends in marketing, media, and tech, Erica is a talented generalist who is able to move between disparate projects and tasks with ease. In our time working together, she programmed events — pulling together diverse and talented executives that add value to our communities — and frequently supported marketing efforts with her strong writing skills. She is the epitome of a team player and a natural collaborator who brings a positive attitude to work every day.

Jess Zafarris
Engagement Editor, Adweek

​

Erica is one of the toughest, most rigorous people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. She navigated the most difficult aspects of event programming and speaker management with grace and skill I never thought humanly possible. She is immensely clever and talented, and guided me through some of the most challenging moments on the event side of Adweek — and clearly left an indelible mark on Social Media Week prior to its acquisition. Any company would be fortunate to benefit from her expertise.

Jesse Kirshbaum
CEO & Co-Founder, Nue Agency

 

I worked with Erica when she was on the programming team at Social Media Week. Nue Agency was a frequent collaborator, so our paths crossed often. Erica approaches her projects with diligence, responsiveness, and attention to detail. She applies empathy to her partnerships and is able to understand her collaborators’ goals in order to ensure the best outcome. She brings optimistic energy, even amid chaotic environments.

Olivia Morley
Senior Reporter, Adweek

​

Erica managed Adweek's events like a pro, curating its speaker line-ups and developing programming that engaged viewers and excited the newsroom. Her role required a deep understanding of the Adweek brand ecosystem and reporter coverage areas, not to mention marketers' needs. Erica approaches programming with a strategic mindset and knows how to hone panel moderators' strengths. She is also an adept event moderator. It's rare that someone can, with ease, manage events and be the public face of them. I admire Erica's personable, engaged approach to work and I highly recommend her to any employer.

Peter Greco
Senior Program Manager, Google

​

I've known Erica for many years, and one of her trademark attributes over time has been persistence. Erica is dogged when faced with tough challenges. She views them as opportunities and will relentlessly pursue a goal until she achieves it. She’s passionate about personal growth, which means she is always aiming to develop new skills that benefit her team and her company.

Erica's an extremely thorough worker who always puts 100% into any project she's on. Her background in corporate comms, PR, and editorial are a versatile skillset, and she's a pleasure to work with.
