Hi, I'm new to Upwork, but not new to business consulting. I'm here to help you take your nonprofit to the next level as your advisor & strategist. About me: I am a 25+ year global strategy executive, consumer intelligence professional and 2X startup founder with experience working with and for nonprofits, trade & professional associations, CPG companies, startups, and private equity firms such as Heineken USA, GoMacro, SC Johnson, Dude Wipes, Kraft, Nestle, Kimberly-Clark, the Illinois Lottery, MillerCoors, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association (AVIXA), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the American Library Association (ALA), the National Retail Federation (NRF), Dairy Management Inc (dairy checkoff), and others. My founder experience includes CampfireSocial, the venture-funded social commerce platform for membership-driven organizations and Pet Gotcha Day!, the virtual reality-focused pet adoption platform used by over 3,000 shelters & rescues across North America. I have advised dozens of organizations in everything from board relations to strategic planning to international Go-To-Market & brand strategy development to fundraising to technology development and more. I always brings an entrepreneurial lens to my work to identify new opportunities for growth and specializes in using quantitative and qualitative methodologies plus financial data to find solutions. My peers have said that ‘Erica is a keen observer of human behavior who can translate observations into action and one who spurs others to better thinking and better results.’ I am available for general C-Level consulting, serving as your fractional Strategist or fractional CEO, and leading nonprofit operations including staffing decisions. Please reach out. I'd love to learn more about your goals and help you bring them to fruition. I bill at $125/hr but open to payment/equity hybrid models. Masked case studies & references available upon request. Due to the nature of my work, I sign NDAs and keep all work output completely confidential. You’ll want your deliverables kept confidential too. Here are a few quotes from my clients: 1. Erica's ability to conduct insightful interviews with market leaders is impressive. She approached each conversation with an in depth understanding of our objectives, asked thoughtful questions, and gained valuable insights. She took the time to thoroughly understand the nuances of our industry, which allowed us to make well-informed decisions. Her contributions were invaluable in shaping our market strategy. I would highly recommend Erica to anyone seeking a skilled and reliable market researcher. I wouldn’t be able to get through this process without your help! – Tyler, VisionTech Robotics 2. Erica did an excellent job. She was creative with our budget and always adapted to meet our needs. She is professional and timely. She was able to extract truly unique perspectives and provide tangible action steps. Her professionalism, flexibility, and quick responses made working with her a pleasure. – Gopal, Calvono 3. I've had the pleasure of partnering with Erica on several projects over the past 3+ years. She is intelligent, dynamic and creative, not afraid to speak her mind with an assertiveness backed by a fresh perspective. She has full command of the issues of every project, while always understanding context and keeping her eye on the ultimate marketing objectives. She thinks strategically but switches to tactical mode, when needed, on the turn of a dime (or whatever coin people pivot on these days). She brings an innovations mindset because she has that ideal balance of creativity and analytical skills. She is also a lot of fun to be with. When traveling across the country, often multiple cities on consecutive days, it's a bonus to like the people you work with. Erica is kind and not only has a wonderful sense of humor, she is funny herself. She is a great verbal sparring partner and a keen observer of human behavior, whether the subject is the research or things going on in the culture or the next table over. Perhaps the biggest testament to someone's character is what they bring out in other people. Collaborating with Erica spurs me to better thinking and better results, and she helps keep me on top of my game. – Marc, ERP

After leading personal development and energy wellness coaching programs for more than 20 years for The Walt Disney Company, GE, J&J, the International Olympic Committee and hundreds of schools and start-ups, I realized that helping people navigate their own personal energy flow to realize solutions and greater joy and success in life is what brings me my greatest joy and is what I consider my true calling. I now work with people both one to one and in group talks to help each person navigate their own personal energy flow in a way that feels most uplifting, successful and expansive for them. I am truly grateful my journey is allowing me to connect with you today and I look forward to the opportunity of providing a day of spiritual mentorship to you and/or your team, soon. During the hours when I'm not podcasting or in energy talks with you, you can find me walking through the woods, playing scrabble, camping, studying a new language, baking a cake, or finding fun somewhere awesome with family and friends. Client Testimonials ~ Liz has the most wonderful zen, calming energy...such a gift! ~Erin, Master Reiki Teacher Liz was terrific. She was an excellent listener and provided thoughtful insight into how to approach situations, both personal and professional. I also never felt judged during the time we spent together.

Kevin, Sales Director Liz accepts you exactly where you are in your process and gets you moving! She is very intuitive which allows her to quickly tap into what you need to overcome any hurdles standing in your way. Her broad experience allows her to speak from a variety of perspectives and her positive disposition makes her a delight to talk to. Cricket, Start-up COO If you found this page it was meant for you to be here. I've been working with Liz for 6 months and she has helped me stay true to my goals.
