Erica Collins, PhD

Chief People, Culture, and Equity Officer | Chicago Commons

As a trusted partner and advisor I am responsible for the development and execution of the Human Resources strategic direction to drive organizational sustainability, growth and efficiency. For over 15 years, I have taken pleasure in improving the employee experience, driving deliverables and ensuring that HR led transformational changes resulted in a better workforce and profitable business outcomes.

I believe an organization’s best opportunity for sustainability is vested in its ability to empower their human capital to leverage change.
