About Erica Galos Alioto
I have helped lead and advise multiple companies from early-stage start up through IPO, in both the Sales and People (HR) functions, building companies from 10 to over 5000 employees and leading teams of over 2000 employees. I have partnered with CEOs and executive leaders to build their teams, determine organization structure, build a strong team/company culture, and manage performance of their teams. I have led teams through various crises, including the 2008 financial crisis, the pandemic and Russia's war against Ukraine, helping to ensure thoughtful decision-making and balancing the needs of both the organization and employees in each situation. I also have experience managing through acquisitions, layoffs, and reorganizations. As a startup investor and advisor, I have worked with founders to identify talent, build out various functions, and make sound decisions as they grow their companies. I am currently taking a break from operating roles to focus more time on my family and personal interests, but continue to advise and invest in startups during this time.
