About Erik Simon

I am a communications and administrative professional with a strong track record of supporting senior executives, managing complex operations, and creating meaningful experiences that strengthen teams, clients, and communities. I thrive in fast-paced environments where organization, communication, and strategic problem-solving are essential.My career spans administrative leadership, marketing support, client relationship management, and event coordination across political, corporate, nonprofit, and agency settings. I’ve supported C-suite and SVP-level leaders, overseen high-volume calendars, managed cross-functional projects, and coordinated everything from CEO schedules to client-facing lunch-and-learns. I’m known for anticipating needs before they arise, optimizing processes, and bringing a level of reliability and calm that helps teams stay focused and productive.I have a passion for community impact and outreach, and I’m driven by opportunities that bring people together—whether through internal engagement programs, educational initiatives, or mission-driven events. I care deeply about creating environments where people feel informed, supported, and able to do their best work. My experience in community-centered roles has shaped my approach: thoughtful, service-oriented, and always looking for ways to add value.Outside of work, I’m an enthusiastic sports fan who loves the energy of live events and the power they have to connect people. I’m especially motivated by roles in sports, entertainment, and creative industries where collaboration, culture, and storytelling are at the forefront.I bring a strong sense of ownership, a commitment to excellence, and a genuine dedication to helping teams succeed. I’m always open to connecting with professionals across operations, marketing, communications, sports, and community engagement.Let’s connect!
