Erica D’Eramo

During her successful career in the energy industry, Erica witnessed first-hand the challenges of being one of the few women in her field. She saw frustration and disillusionment amongst both her male and female colleagues as the industry was striving to increase the representation of women in their workforce. She saw similar challenges when mentoring both men and women entering leadership roles. Throughout the last 14 years, whether working in the field or the office, domestically or internationally, she continued to witness missed opportunities to better equip employees for facing new environments and power dynamics. She also witnessed recurring themes around the root causes for some of these challenges. She has been invited to speak on related topics at U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Penn State, and College of the Mainland.

Erica spent her career in field-based engineering roles, central performance and risk management roles, and most recently, in offshore front-line leadership roles. She earned her OPITO OIM B ticket and knows how to escape a helicopter replica underwater, upside down and blindfolded. Erica is currently based in Houston with her husband and their two cats.
