As a senior accountant in the external reporting area she was a very hard worker with a strong attention to detail, an in-depth knowledge of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements and an ability to manage these requirements in a complex global business.

Erica is a consummate professional.She also has the great ability to translate vast amounts of data into precise and clear information and action plans - beit operational results or what is happening on the strategic landscape. One of her first actions when moving into the CB role was to critically assess all the data demands placed on the regional teams. She drastically reduced the volume but more importantly enabled the focus of reporting to actionable information, which was also beneficial to the regional teams as well as the corporate reporting needs. She expects high standards from people that work for her and provides the support for them to succeed.Erica is a great person to work with and for, she is always willing to help and enjoys seeing others succeed.", and "I have worked with Erica over the past 7 years at Cabot.
