International Keynote Speaker | Leadership Strategist | Former United Nations Executive
When the stakes are high and organizations need leaders who can navigate uncertainty, build trust, and inspire action, they call Erin Herman.
As a former executive with UNICEF and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Erin has helped shape global initiatives that have impacted millions of lives. She has addressed audiences at the United Nations General Assembly, developed one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Best Inventions through her work on Learning Passport with Microsoft and Cambridge University, and helped secure one of the largest philanthropic commitments in St. Jude’s history—a $300 million, 10-year partnership.
Today, Erin brings that same global perspective to stages around the world, delivering unforgettable keynotes that challenge leaders to think differently, lead courageously, and embrace change as their greatest opportunity.
Recent keynote clients include Gilead Sciences, the Project Management Institute, the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet—founded by the Bezos Earth Fund, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the IKEA Foundation—and PB&J Restaurants, whose brands include Starbucks, YaYa’s Euro Bistro, Red Robin, and more.
Known for her authenticity, executive insight, and powerful storytelling, Erin doesn’t simply motivate audiences—she changes how they think, lead, and show up long after the event ends.
