Erica Sosna is a globally recognised C-Suite speaker and thought leader on leadership, talent strategy and organisational performance. She works with senior leadership teams to turn talent, skills and career conversations into measurable organisational value using her proprietary framework, The Career Equation®. Her work equips executives to strengthen internal mobility, reduce costly churn and unlock latent talent in ways that drive commercial outcomes.
Through The Career Equation®, Erica helps executives understand where skills, performance, mobility and retention are being held back — and design practical ways to unlock them, reduce waste and strengthen business continuity. Her insights are practical, evidence-based and designed for leaders to embed lasting change rather than deliver one-off inspiration.
Her approach empowers everyone in the organisation to take ownership of their career by giving them a shared language and simple methodology for better, more productive career conversations.
Erica has delivered more than 200 high-impact keynotes and executive workshops for C-Suite and senior leadership audiences across global organisations, including Microsoft, Amazon, BP, Rolls Royce SMR, Dassault Systemes, Capital One, AXA, HSBC, Santander, Savills, Nomura, Thales, Walmart and Tetra Pak.
Her work has supported meaningful improvements across all career stages and job families, including a more than 300% increase in early-career retention, a 28% uplift in senior internal mobility over three years, and reduced bottom-line costs from unnecessary churn, brain drain and recruitment.
Erica is consistently praised for her clarity, rigour and ability to make complex strategic challenges accessible and actionable for senior audiences.
Erica is the author of The Career Equation (McGraw-Hill), Good Housekeeping’s careers expert, and co-host of The Career Equation Podcast, where she explores how leaders can build cultures that are both commercially strong and genuinely human.
