Erica Rooney-Anderson,
Founder of HER Collective

For over 15 years, Erica Rooney-Andreson has been leading teams, guiding leaders, and transforming companies. Her extensive background in human resources has given her deep insight into the challenges women face in the workplace everyday. 

​In a world where women are told to have it all, do it all, and be it all, the reality is far more complex.  Gaps in pay, equity, confidence, leadership, and career advancement persist across industries, impacting the potential of individuals and organizations alike.

​

Erica knows these challenges intimately.  She's risen to the C-Suite while raising two kids, while confronting these obstacles head on. You also may know her from her book and podcast, "Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors," which explores how limiting beliefs and behaviors prevent women from achieving success.

​

But she's not here to tell you to settle for less.  She's here to show you how to break through the barriers and rise beyond limiting beliefs and self-imposed ceilings, while dismantling the systemic biases and challenges that exist.

​

​Erica has been recognized as the CHRO of the year, an ICON Top Chief People Officer, and a 2024 Inclusive Leader Award.  She has been featured in news outlines nationwide for her transformative work in creating inclusive, high-performing cultures.  With 15 years of leadership experience, Erica has worked tirelessly to amplify the potential of individuals, teams, and organizations.

​

Her passion extends beyond boardrooms and stages.  A fierce advocate for women, Erica is on a mission to empower, uplift, and amplify the lives of women everywhere. Together, with influential leaders, she is tackling the pivotal question: How do we unleash the full potential of women and ensure they ascent to positions of power and influence and keep them there?
