Meet Erica
Three successful exits. Real experience.
Erica leads the Cowgirl Ventures team and is a salesperson for Business Team, working directly with owners to plot their path forward. She has built, grown, and sold multiple businesses of her own and understands the importance of strong operating decisions and financial clarity in long-term success.
Her background in finance, private equity, and strategic communications allows her to look at a business from multiple perspectives — operationally, financially, and through the eyes of potential buyers. She works with owners to strengthen positioning, clarify goals, and ensure they feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Every owner’s situation is different, and her role is to provide thoughtful guidance, honest feedback, and a steady hand throughout the process.
