Hey there, I’m Erin.

I’m a curious and empathetic leader with a passion for people, relationship building, and great user experiences.

I love teamwork and the challenge of launching new projects and businesses, so you’ll usually find me collaborating with innovative startups and non-profits that are striving to make the world better.

 Through my consultancy BKBF Productions, I currently work with a small roster of thoughtful leaders to advance their operational and mission-driven objectives. 

I love to build. I help clients, teammates and my community bring big ideas to life. 

Ideas Like:

How can we make restaurants safer and more equitable for women?

How do we prepare to scale our business in the midst of a global pandemic?

How do I coordinate my team effectively when we’re doing a large, complex, new, project on a tight timeline?

How do we sell a product that is more expensive and less convenient than our competitors?

How do we tell compelling audio stories?

 

Erin came in to help our Transmitter team with a very fast and demanding project, developing a suite of audio products for Google’s Ads team. She held a critical product management role, interfacing between the Transmitter and Google teams (both of which were new to her and new to each other), keeping track of scores of deliverables, and a slew of stakeholders and collaborators. Quite frankly, we could not have completed this project in time without Erin’s coordination, facilitation, and incredible communication skills.

Over ten years of working with Erin in diverse settings, I have been impressed with her ability to lead by understanding people, breaking down communications barriers, and breaking big challenges down. Her orientation is never to shy away from big problems, but to think “HOW can we do this?”

I was an intern at Heritage Radio Network under Erin’s leadership as the Executive Director. I came to learn that Erin possesses the rare qualities in a leader of being decisive and ambitious, while also being intuitive, encouraging, and empathetic.
