25 years leading bold transformation — in organizations, in people, and in herself. Speaker. Strategist. Author in progress.
With 25 years spanning IT, HR transformation, PMO, shared services, analytics, and enterprise strategy, Erin Von Rippentrop has built a career defined by bold moves and decisive action.
From Chief of Staff roles to building transformation programs from scratch, Erin has a rare ability to see across functions, align people, and deliver outcomes that actually stick.
She's also a mother, a creator, and a woman who believes that building a legacy means showing up fully — in the boardroom and at home.
After 25 years of building, leading, and transforming enterprises — I've learned that the most powerful thing I can offer isn't a framework. It's pattern recognition, straight talk, and the kind of honest guidance that only comes from someone who has actually been in the rooms you're trying to get into.
I work with a small number of clients at a time. Here's how:
For leaders navigating a career pivot, stepping into a new executive role, or trying to break through to the next level. I bring clarity to the moments that feel most uncertain — helping you position yourself powerfully, make confident decisions, and move forward with a plan that actually fits who you are.
No generic frameworks. No corporate jargon. Just honest, experienced guidance tailored to you.
Available for individual sessions and ongoing engagements.
