Erica has over 25 years of learning and development and apprenticeships experience with some of the UK’s best-known brands such as LV=, British Gas, Specsavers and Virgin.

Erica’s area of specialism is AI and future skills. Erica speaks about this in her TEDx talk, ‘Reforming Education through the Digital First Mindset’, and in her courses as a LinkedIn Learning Instructor.

She is passionate about driving human collaborations with tech. Examples are the ‘AI for the Average Joe’ podcast show, making the complex, simple, alongside her innovative keynotes and workshops focussing on AI for everyone, and AI and wellbeing.

Erica is also an advisory member of the AI in Work & Skills Forum, a seasoned presenter and consultant who was shortlisted as Best AI Speaker in the 2025 Speaker Awards.

She has recently authored her first book, ‘AI for People Professionals’ due out in May 2026.

“Erica has led the way in engagement in generative artificial intelligence and future skills for some time now and excel at bringing excitement and inspiration to this area. She is a fantastic speaker in this area and looks at this innovation through the people lens, considering what is needed to win the hearts and minds of our teams, learners, clients, and organisations, which makes this particularly refreshing and digestible. Erica is a very easy listening professional speaker, with an added fizz of energy and enthusiasm for creative disruption; disruption of thought and perception for what is possible in the use of AI and digital technology in the delivery of higher technical and professional skills programmes, and education. Quantum Rise really represents vision and innovation to challenge the traditional and typical.”
