Meet Erin

Owner/Vice President/Consultant

Erin has spent more than 20 years building and leading programs inside large, fast-moving organizations across multiple industries. She most recently led strategy and business transformation initiatives in the healthcare market, tied to quality measures in sales, marketing, analytics, and operations. Trained as a Registered Nurse, Erin brings a clinical eye for process and safety to change management, organizational design, and training efforts with deep roots in human resources. Her focus is building the kind of relationships with stakeholders that actually move things forward.

At Long Run, she brings that same approach to client communications, training and program development, and the operations side of the business.

How we Work.

Our typical engagement combines on-site implementation support with remote coaching and execution support. The flexibility of remote technology is undeniable, but we believe there is no substitute for time spent on the front lines of your business.

Our “sales process” is collaborative. We value connecting with business leaders and working together to identify areas of opportunity when the time is right.

We strive to earn our keep in every minute spent on your business, and believe that goals and measurements provide necessary focus and clarity to that end.

We bill a flat hourly rate for most of our engagements, however the specific budget varies based on scope and the pace of improvement desired.
