Heather Erickson
@heathererickson
I lead operations, growth, and high-performing teams across global businesses.
What I'm looking for
I oversee operations, partnerships, and growth strategy across Alta Labs’ portfolio of 20+ businesses, including recruiting, healthcare, media, and entertainment ventures. I’ve launched new ventures, secured nine reseller partners for Obra in five months, and supported Angel Studios’ successful NYSE public listing.
Previously, I led growth at Collegewise to secure more than $10 million in revenue and doubled sales conversion from 6% to 12%. Across six years at Instructure, I helped lead its IPO and $2B private-equity buyout, drove 40% YoY revenue growth, led acquisition diligence for 100+ companies, and managed global teams, integrations, and budgets. I also lead The Chara Project, a nonprofit that has reached more than 750,000 people globally.
