About Erica

A former professional athlete turned entrepreneur, I began my career competing on the WTA Tour after earning a Division I college tennis scholarship. Following my retirement from professional tennis, I transitioned into the IT staffing industry, gaining extensive experience with two of the largest staffing firms in the United States. In 2013, I founded an IT staffing firm headquartered in Chicago with a nationwide footprint, specializing in delivering high-quality technology talent to organizations across the country. Our company is WBENC-certified and was recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States.
