About Erika Haas

I am a mission-driven business leader with expertise in transformation, strategy, and finance. Throughout my career, I’ve combined analytical rigor with a deep belief in the power of business to drive positive change.At Harvard Business Publishing, I advanced a double impact framework to measure mission outcomes alongside financial performance, strengthened culture through inclusion initiatives, and built enterprise-wide planning systems. I was recognized for designing and scaling Circles, a global employee engagement program that now connects 20% of employees and has become one of the company’s most valued culture-building initiatives.What drives me is helping organizations align people, purpose, and performance. My path — from global consumer brands to social impact consulting to enterprise transformation — reflects a consistent commitment to bringing humanity to business.MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business | BA from Harvard University
