As with many on the Redpoint team, Erica spent most of her career as a founder and executive operator prior to joining Redpoint in early 2021. Most recently, she served as COO of GitHub, where she was brought in to mature and scale the company following the Microsoft acquisition. She was fortunate to be a part of the GitHub Copilot launch as well as many others and drove global business expansion among other aspects of the business. Prior to GitHub, she co-founded Bitnami, which went through Y Combinator in 2013 and was acquired by VMware in 2019, as well as BitRock prior to that. She has also served on the board of the Linux Foundation, which shephards over 200 core open source projects (including Linux and Kubernetes), since 2016.

At Redpoint, Erica focuses on bringing her nearly 20 years of open source, infrastructure and developer tools experience to bear to support founders from the earliest days of building. The text and WhatsApp messages she gets from founders - whether they’re to share wins, get feedback on new ideas, or (most importantly) talk through how to navigate challenges - give her a tremendous amount of joy and energy. She counts her lucky stars every day to be able to spend her time supporting such incredible people.

Outside of work, Erica loves spending time with her truly awesome hubby and pre-teen son, who currently wants to be both a photographer and ethical hacker, and is constantly trying to hack into things on their home network as a result. She is also mildly obsessed with fitness, health and wellness and is often mocked for all of the new supplements and other trends she experiments with (and then tells everyone about – when they work!) Given the constant shenanigans and ridiculous sense of dry, British humor that pervades the family, Erica swears she lives in a sitcom.
