Hi, I’m Erin.I’m a curious individual hungry to learn and thrive in challenging environments. This approach has enabled me to carve an unorthodox career path with 3 degrees in political science, 10 years in global finance, a turn as a tech CEO, and 15 years as a social impact growth strategist. Industries may have changed, yet there is one constant throughout my career: a deep commitment to social causes and a focus on maximizing our individual and collective impact. My diverse background and skill set makes me uniquely qualified as a consultant to philanthropic organizations and pro-social businesses. As principal of HumanKind™ Consulting, I focus on helping organizations build their asset base and achieve exponential growth. I developed these strategic sales and marketing skills during my time in global finance, working with companies such as Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and American Express. I now leverage my talents to raise money for nonprofit organizations, foundations, and social-impact companies. Working on all sides of philanthropy from Director of Development to Executive Director to Board of Director, my experience has been recognized as a preferred consultant by philanthropic leaders such as W.K. Kellogg, Tides, and Ashoka Foundations. In addition to asset building, I founded Summery, an AI-driven data analytic company that quantifies individual values and organizational culture. Running the company for 8 years, we counted the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Salesforce, NASDAQ, RSF Social Finance, and the California Community College system as our clients. Named a Forbes #Next1000 entrepreneur, I’ve been recognized as an AI4Good ESG / AI Innovator by Women in AI North America and a Diversity in Tech Award Digital Transformation finalist. Major media profiles include Forbes, Forbes Women, Entrepreneur, BBC Technology, National Geographic, and NPR. Author of the best-selling How to Be A Digital Nomad guides and the Adventure Philanthropist book series, I earned a BA from Mills College, an MA from the New School for Social Research, and a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I enjoy all outdoor sports, especially diving, kayaking and hiking, and volunteering with humanitarian organizations that support the causes I care about most: human rights, ending hunger, healthy environments, and animal welfare.Growing up abroad in New Zealand and having traveled to more than 100 countries, I continue to live as a digital nomad exploring our beautiful world.
